Poja-Gi: Diasporic Gestures
Through an anti-racism and anti-oppression-focused artist-in-residence program, this research aims to test new strategies, grounded in contemporary artistic practices and gallery-based education, for promoting anti-racism, anti-oppression, and transformative action on university campuses. This will lead to innovative approaches for developing learning materials and resources that promote social and cultural attitudes and behaviours that actively counter racism and oppression. The project will promote intercultural dialogues about anti-racism and anti-oppression through and with art, reducing societal barriers in arts and culture, and contributing to a new public narrative.
Three artist residencies are at the centre of this project. We are pleased to announce that the first residency is with kimura byol lemoine.
This residency is part of the Artistic approaches to anti-racism and anti-oppression: Artists and university students engaging in transformative action in a campus gallery which is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
