On view 5 December 2025–22 March 2026, this focused survey presents bodies of work by Douglas that examine various colonisation efforts globally, over time – an enduring theme that shapes much of his work.
Curated by McMichael Executive Director and Chief Curator Sarah Milroy, the exhibition brings together five major photographic series that reflect Douglas’s incisive investigations into history, memory, and the impress of empire on both landscapes and lives.
