Animating the Archive opening reception
Thursday, March 29, 4 to 6 p.m., Art Gallery, Level 6, Centre for the Arts
The exhibit features a mix of student-produced material and archived pieces from the U of L art collection. Kylie Fineday, an art history/museum studies student intern, was inspired by the work of leading Indigenous artists who explore museum collections and archives and then produce their own work to address the assumptions and practices within historical images about Canada, the Indigenous people and the land. Fineday selected works from the U of L collection and students in the Native American Studio course created a range of responses.
