Marian Penner Bancroft: Long Story
Opening Reception
Saturday, March 14, 2 – 4 pm
*Add to Calendar
Marian Penner Bancroft’s work is deeply rooted in an exploration of memory, landscape, colonial history, migration, and identity. Her images often layer personal history with geography, functioning as visual documentation with poetic reflection. The work offers more than just observation – it evokes a sense of emotional and intellectual resonance.
Long Story is a multimedia installation that brings together photographs, videos, wall texts, and sound. The exhibition comprises both new works and selected pieces created between 2000 and the present. Each image and video is linked to the others to reflect the artist’s ongoing engagement with complex questions – questions ranging over a lifetime that are approached from diverse photographic perspectives and tied to a broader thematic investigation.
This exhibition opens space for deep contemplation. It highlights the interconnectedness of histories, places, and people, while embracing complexity. By engaging multiple senses and mediums, Bancroft encourages viewers to reflect on their own relationships with memory, land, and belonging.
