How We Go


  • Vielmetter Los Angeles 1700 South Santa Fe Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90021 United States (map)

Vielmetter Los Angeles is excited to present How We Go, an exhibition of new works by Gio Swaby, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles.

Originally from The Bahamas and currently based in Toronto, Swaby is known for her intricate textile portraits of Black women and femmes in her community. Swaby begins by photographing the sitters and translates these images into textured and tactile expressions of identity. Swaby’s Bahamian upbringing inspires the title How We Go, and is an affirming, intuitive expression of identity and shared understanding. Taken from the colloquial phrase “you know how we go”, the phrase is a description of the essence of a person, it is that which is simply known without having to be explained.

Gallery Hours:
Tuesday – Saturday, 10am – 6pm
