Located on the Stanley Avenue side of the Nelson Trading Company building (430 Baker Street) in downtown Nelson, B.C., O2 is a window-turned-gallery. 
The new artwork by Dénommé is a mixed media silkscreen print/collage on stretched kitakata paper. The artist connects the installation with the colonial genocide in Gaza and is specifically inspired by the organization Unmute Gaza who works to amplify the images and writing by journalists attempting to report on the violence.This program is generously supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.LEARN MOREJOINSupport your artist-run centre by becoming an Oxygen Art Centre Member.
