    “PLACE has been an important milestone for me artistically. I worked with two dear mentors who I often speak of as having helped saved my life as a flamenco artist. It brought me to a PLACE of having to confront so many challenging things: my aging body, my limitations as a dancer, my changing relationship with dance. With the creation spanning several years between Calgary, Montreal and Barcelona, and with delays brought by the pandemic, this tense PLACE of confrontation has become a softer one of receiving and admitting and opening. My life has changed, my body has changed, my mental health has changed, my heart has changed. I am thrilled to finally share the full trilogy with a live audience.”

    My Flamenco: a dancer, her city and her art
    Photographs by Brian Sew
    Shisomiso Boutique & Gallery
    Opening Reception: February 7 from 5pm - 9pm (First Thursday)
    January 1 to February 28

    "My Flamenco juxtaposes the tradition of southern Spain’s loved dance form, flamenco, with the corporate, fast-paced culture of Calgary - the hometown of local flamenco dance artist and photographed subject, Rosanna Terracciano. Brian Sew’s stunning photographs, which depict Terracciano dressed in full flamenco attire moving through day-to-day Calgary activities, project a sensation of isolation, and awkwardness, offering the viewer thought-provoking insight into the realities of practicing an art so far removed from its cultural birthplace."
