Join the AGE curatorial team for a free, drop-in exhibition tour of Karen Zalamea: Every Surface Is a Shrine.
Every Surface Is a Shrine brings together a selection of photo-based works by Karen Zalamea that traces the shifting boundaries between material, memory and place. Rooted in a critical exploration of photography’s expanded possibilities, Zalamea’s practice reimagines the medium not only as an image-making tool but as a methodology of care, labour and cultural inquiry.
This exhibition is part of the 2026 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
Karen Zalamea is a visual artist whose photographic practice critically considers the medium’s methodologies and materials to attend to issues of memory, inheritance, place and identity. She is the recipient of the 2025 Barbara Spohr Memorial Award in Photography and the 2023 Prefix Prize. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions and as public art projects across Canada and internationally. She holds an MFA from Concordia University, Montreal, and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Vancouver. The artist acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the BC Arts Council.
