Wayne Salmon
The Kensington Market Project (2000-present)
Beginning in the year 2000, I’ve been photographing Kensington Market with a Holga plastic lens camera. I’m interested in the Caribbean community and its relationship to the market. I also want to discuss my approach to making the project, while thinking about Transatlantic modes of art/music making by way of the Blues and Dub (Version). With this project I wanted to explore ideas around migration, absences, memory, remembering and becoming.
Toronto-based artist Wayne Salmon works in photography, film and installation. Born in Jamaica, he immigrated to Canada in the early 1980’s. Salmon’s work is concerned with Black sociality, particularly issues around history, migration, memory and becoming. He received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Ryerson University.
Wayne was the founding editor of Umoja Urban Culture Magazine, and a co-founder and curator at Brickhouse Studio & Gallery, Salmon’s writings have appeared in various publications. His photographs have been exhibited in galleries and museums in Canada and the US.
