When and Where
Description
You're invited to the opening of JHI's 2024-25 Art Exhibition!
Join us on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm for a reception with curator, Master of Visual Studies in Curatorial Studies graduate student Yantong Li.
Morphing Land, Impalpable Currents posits the underground as a rhizomatic commons to consider the imperceptible nexuses within a fractured land of colonial extraction. From rare earth minerals to undersea infrastructures subterranean petroleum sites to suburban sewage holes, the morphing landscape of colonial extraction reveals amnesias of a past rendered invisible to the optics, hidden underground and growing hauntingly present the deeper we move. The underground sites of extractive regimes, with their distinct localities, bring into conversation the geophysical, geopolitical, and geological repercussions of neoliberalism, colonialism, militarism, and the climate crisis.
Morphing Land, Impalpable Currents is a co-production of the Art Museum and the Jackman Humanities Institute. We are grateful for the contributions of the Art Museum, both financial and in-kind, through the contribution of expertise, planning and implementation.
