Video screening
\nJohn Akomfrah, The Stuart Hall Project<\/em>, 2013
\nDeanna Bowen, sum of the parts: what can be named<\/em>, 2010<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a presentation by Dr. Daniel McNeil (Professor of History, Migration and Diaspora Studies, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gallery presents a screening of Toronto-based Deanna Bowen\u2019s sum of the parts: what can be named<\/em> alongside British artist John Akomfrah\u2019s portrait of the late sociologist and theorist Stuart Hall,The Stuart Hall Project<\/em>. This program examines how the biographic, autobiographic, and documentary forms as well as research on the long term must navigate the entanglements of memory, lacuna, event and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging these two works, Daniel McNeil discusses how Bowen and Akomfrah invite us to play more carefully with history, memory and cultural politics. In doing so, he frames their politically infused acts of pleasure as critical resources in a living archive of diaspora and dissidence \u2013 provocative, suggestive and explorative works that not only provide tools to address how racism and resistance articulate with each other in translocal contexts, but also offer content and a cutting edge to ongoing fights against the violence of nation-states and corporations that have been selling \u2018multicultural snake oil\u2019 to the world for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free admission<\/p>\n\n\n\n
