Lecture by Gerald McMaster: Indigenous Views of the Other
Lecture by renowned curator and art historian Gerald McMaster
Remai Modern presents a lecture by Gerald McMaster: Indigenous Views of the Other
Representations of Indigenous Americans by Europeans is a well-travelled, yet one-way street. The practice of Indigenous artists representing Europeans is, on the other hand, an untravelled road. In this lecture, Gerald McMaster will present works from all regions of Canada and the northern United States in order to explore the various visual strategies Indigenous artists use to represent this interface with their European other.
Gerald McMaster is a ground-breaking curator, a professor of Indigenous Visual Culture and Critical Curatorial Studies at OCAD University (Toronto), and is currently Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Visual Culture & Curatorial Practice.
Monday, April 18, 2016 | Lecture at 6:30 pm | Doors open at 6:00 pm | Admission is FREE
