Kim Kmode – We’ll Go Back One Day – 30/09/22 – Exhibition

Montreal born artist Kim ‘Kmode‘ Kermode debuts her solo exhibition ‘We’ll Go Back One Day’ in Melbourne this weekend.

This body of work is a stepping stone into the discovery of her complexed Caribbean heritage on her mother’s side. While exploring what it meant to be part Martiniquan, she was also navigating her own confidence and complexities with colourism. Having only visited Martinique once, her memory of the landscape and the people are blurred with what she sees in the media and other people mixed with Western Caribbean roots.

Now Melbourne based, Kmode applies her trade out of the legendary Arts Hole studios in Caulfield South. She’s inspired particularly by the Western female with Caribbean heritage, exploring a range of hair textures and diverse skin tones. She finds her images and inspiration throughout fashion photography and media.

If you can’t make the opening, head down on Saturday 1st October to make Dodgy Paper with some Caribbean flavour.

Opening night Friday 30th September 6pm – 9pm
Exhibition runs until Sunday 2nd October
