Gain a new perspective and understanding of current exhibition Lii Zoot Tayr (Other Worlds). Join us for this free lunch-hour tour led by our friendly Community Docents.

Lii Zoot Tayr is the third in a series of exhibitions organized by Amy Malbeuf and Jessie Ray Short that explores the work of Métis artists. In this iteration, the artists—Malbeuf, Suzanne Morrissette, Tannis Nielsen, Tiffany Shaw-Collinge, and Short—ground themselves within and move beyond the earth and solar system to ruminate on outer, inner and deep space. With a particular focus on the ethereality of science and technology, the artists examine their relationships to unseen forces and concepts of spirit and in/visibility. The resulting artworks are charged with ancestral and personal dreams, memories, and stories that push and pull on the limitations of human perceptions and raise questions about how knowledge comes into being.

The Community Docent training program is supported by the Iva Speers Fund for Art Education.

What Is…? is a series of casual and introductory talks focusing on subjects connected to current Agnes exhibitions and topical subjects in the art world.

Join Emy Kim, Queen’s Assistant Professor, Artifacts Conservation, as she leads a talk on art conservation. She’ll touch upon the role of a conservator in a museum, conservation training, ethics and some of the techniques used.

Speaker Biography: Emy Kim is the Assistant Professor of Artifacts Conservation in Master of Art Conservation Program at Queen’s University. She has worked in Canada and the US at the Royal Ontario Museum, Aga Khan Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University, SFO Airport Museum, and Brooklyn Museum. Emy received her conservation training from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, an MA in art history at Williams College, and a BA from Princeton University. She is also currently a PhD student at the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology at the University of Toronto, where she studies modern metals history.

Gain a new perspective and understanding of current exhibition History Is Rarely Black or White. Join us for this free lunch-hour tour led by our friendly Community Docents.

The exhibition interrogates cotton garments in the Queen’s Collection of Canadian Dress through archival research and scientific analysis that connects these materials to resource extraction, Indigenous displacement, enslaved labour, and the Underground Railroad. This history is also shown through tintypes and artifacts.

History Is Rarely Black or White engages contemporary art and fashion to examine colonial history and envision a radically positive future. Artists Karin Jones, Gordon Shadrach, and Damian Joel demonstrate the manner in which the burden of colonial history entwines itself in research, making and cultural heritage. Jones and Shadrach discuss the ongoing legacies of oppression that created the global cotton industry. Joel mines the history of enslavement, migration and making in his fashion story, Songs of the Gullah. The inclusion of his work brings the exhibition full circle by juxtaposing the collections at Agnes with contemporary pieces based on similar networks of relation.
