Curator’s Talk/ Community Dialogue -Curatorial Residency - La Clinica Oaxaca Mexico
La Sombra de Terra Nullus (The Shadow of Terra Nullius): Canadian Colonial imaginaries as actual life. Institutions; dispositifs; tautologies; ambiguities.
Within the constituency of my Caribbean descent as BIPOC within The Americas, this talk elaborated on the construction of Canadian colonialism via visual forms such as the advertisements of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the paintings of The Group of Seven. An extensive cross-cultural dialogue regarding visual culture’s rapport with colonization with indigenous descent, Afro-descendant, Mexican, caucasian, and members of other groups took place in this Oaxaca contemporary art space.
