Art Show: Living in a Culture of Appearance

Date: Vernissage Saturday, February 1st, 2-7pm
Location: Urban Art Collective Gallery
Address: 1088 Somerset St.W
Living in a culture of appearance means existing in a society where physical looks and outward presentation are prioritized over deeper qualities like character or intelligence. This emphasis is driven by media, social platforms, and consumer industries promoting beauty standards that often feel unattainable. Social media amplifies these ideals, fostering comparison and validation through likes and followers. The focus on appearance can lead to issues like body image struggles, low self-esteem, and superficial judgments, where worth is tied to looks rather than abilities. It affects people of all genders and ages, fuelling consumerism and creating pressure to conform to societal ideals, often at the expense of authenticity and deeper connections.
