Do we put images on pedestals? Does art have intellectual influence and what can we do to press this conversation forward? Wilmer Aburto has been building provocative and challenging statements through photography. He asks why we must rely on a single representation of beauty and strength - and he builds images to demonstrate that once we move outside the norm we can draw on even greater power. He's published books, put on shows, and has had his images displayed as public art. If you're looking to see the diversity and creativity embedded here in Calgary - look no further! Here's the first part of my chat with Wilmer.
