Heavy silence by the Suzanne FerlandL

The exhibition Lourd silence by artist Suzanne Ferland will be on display at Espace Pierre-Debain from January 29 to March 30, 2025.

Lourd silence brings together a variety of installations that blend sculpture, printmaking, drawing, sewing, and collage with the more ethereal element of a floor projection. The materials—bronze, paper, and wax—interact in a quiet, contemplative atmosphere, reflecting the stillness that can mask deeper, hidden violence. The exhibition addresses the issue of violence endured by women in silence, from childhood onwards, often occurring behind closed doors.

We warmly invite you to join us for the opening reception on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Espace Pierre-Debain, located at the Centre culturel du Vieux-Aylmer, 120 Rue Principale, Gatineau. We look forward to seeing you there.
