Toronto Brews: Two Centuries of Beer Culture
13 July to 28 December, 2019
Market Gallery
Toronto
Craft beer may be all the rage today in Toronto, but the city has a brewing tradition that began over two centuries ago. Through artifacts, artworks, archival images and videos, you can explore this rich legacy in the Market Gallery’s new exhibition. The story begins with tiny breweries established in the early 1800s, then covers the scaling-up of the industry in Victorian times, the impact of Prohibition, the rise of Canada’s macrobrewers in the first half of the 20th century, and ends with a look at the microbrewery movement since 1985 and contemporary craft-beer culture.
Racheal’s engaging image of Ren Navarro, founder of Beer. Diversity. is featured in this well crafted exhibition.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STAGE
2010 – 2015
For 5 years Racheal created a gallery series of rehearsal and behind the scenes images called The Other Side of the Stage.
The series included powerful images and rare glimpses of the work that goes in to executing seemingly effortless productions such as Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna, The Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre’s latest work, The Eifman Ballet’s Anna Karenina, and the Charlottetown Festival’s Evangeline. The work was presented through a series of curated galleries.
Though based in New York, they were displayed worldwide on a digital gallery platform. Her work proved to be extremely popular and averaged 2,000,000 visitors per gallery.

INSTALLATION A
