Ommatidia

Join us on February 6th to view the work and meet the artists. All welcome! Free event.

Ommatidia invites you to consider the concept of “ommatidia” in an artistic way. The exhibition showcases a diverse selection of photographic works produced by students from the Fanshawe Advanced Photo class. In biology, ommatidia are the tiny visual units that form the compound eyes of insects, enabling them to perceive the world through a wide and mosaic vision. Drawing on this idea, the exhibition highlights students’ experimentation with photography to create multiple ways of seeing. Through a wide range of subjects, colours, and techniques, each work functions as an individual visual unit. Though different from one another, each contributes to a collective vision that reflects the diversity of students’ creativity.

This exhibition is in the Main Gallery from February 6 to February 23, 2026.
