Decolonize These Walls - Indigenous Art Exhibit
Students, employees, and visitors to campus may have noticed a number of public art displays installed this fall, which are located around Mackintosh-Corry Hall, Jeffery Hall, and Harrison-LeCaine Hall.
The four artworks are part of an exhibition which opens in January at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre called Soundings: An Exhibition in Five Parts. The exhibition was curated by Dylan Robinson, Assistant Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts, and internationally-renowned Indigenous curator Candice Hopkins. It features newly-commissioned scores, sounds, and performances by Indigenous artists.
카지노 게임 컬렉션One of the recommendations of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report 카지노 게임 컬렉션Yakwanastahentéha Aankenjigemi: Extending the Rafters카지노 게임 컬렉션 was that Indigenous history and culture become part of the physical make-up of the university,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Robinson. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Not only do these artworks respond to this recommendation, but in some cases also ask viewers to reconsider the built environment and colonial architecture of the university.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Soundings is affiliated with the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션 concurrent Ka카지노 게임 컬렉션tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts. Visit their website for more details on a diverse array of performances by acclaimed Indigenous artists working across theatre, dance, music, film and performance art.
These outdoor artworks are the first component of Soundings, which features 11 additional new works by Indigenous artists inside the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. When the exhibition opens on Saturday, Jan. 5, it will include video, objects, graphic notation, Indigenous cultural belongings, and written instructions for visitors.
Uniquely, each of these new artworks functions as a 카지노 게임 컬렉션score,카지노 게임 컬렉션 yet rather than written in music notation these scores are written symbols, language, and recorded instructions. At different moments during the exhibition, these scores will be activated by musicians, dancers, performers, and members of the public, and gradually fill the gallery and surrounding public spaces with sound, performance, and action.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The scope, public presence, ambition, urgent cultural currency, and performance-driven character of this exhibition project make Soundings a landmark in Agnes카지노 게임 컬렉션s program history,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Jan Allen, Director of the Agnes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Soundings curators Dr. Robinson and Ms. Hopkins are bringing leading Indigenous artists together around a powerful invitation to express the terms of reconciliation. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m thrilled to see the results unfolding from this high level of creative exchange.카지노 게임 컬렉션
