About
Turner brings her Afronautic methodology to our Visual Arts Gallery with an exhibition, Afronautic Research Lab, from October 1-26.
Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, October 3 from 6-8 p.m.
The Afronautic Research Lab is a social practice project through which visitors encounter suppressed archival documents providing evidence of colonial Canada’s links to and participation in the transatlantic trade in African people, its ongoing legacies of anti-Blackness and Black resistance. In its travels Afronautic Research Lab gathers and shares local histories. The project is organised by Outerregion, a performance group founded by Camille in collaboration with her siblings Karen and Lee Turner. Afronautic Research Lab has taken numerous forms in its various incarnations.
This exhibition is part of the Walker Cultural Leader Series presented by the Department of Visual Arts.
Exhibition Run: October 1 - 26, 2024
