Black Friday

To Jun 2 Fans of George A. Romero’s zombie flicks will appreciate Sophia Al-maria’s anti-capitalist video installation, Black Friday. Borrowing effects from the post-apocalyptic genre, the artist presents hypnotic images of Qatari shopping malls accompanied by eerie voiceovers and a booming soundtrack. She likens shopping centres to sacred temples, where the push and pull of American-style consumerism in the Gulf is played out. FREE, MERCER UNION, 1286 BLOOR ST W MERCERUNION.ORG
