Description

Join the Art Museum for a dynamic discussion moderated by writer and curator Lise Ragbir in conversation with curator and creative director Ingrid Jones, artist Tanya Lukin Linklater, cultural worker and curator La Tanya S. Autry, and award-winning author and poet Chantal Gibson. This conversation will delve into the powerful themes and artists showcased in Labour, an exhibition that includes text, film, and installation works of Natalie Asumeng, Tony Cokes, Kosisochukwu Nnebe, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Martine Syms.

Together, the panelists will explore critical questions such as: What motivates our inclusion in institutional spaces? Who holds the right to tell our stories? How can we express justified rage against microaggressions and discrimination? And how can rest be wielded as a form of resistance?

This event is free and all are welcome. Registration is recommended.
