SHIFT: dialogues of migration in contemporary art
A three-day creative symposium
April 8-10, 2011, Regina, SK
Organized by the Strandline Curatorial Collective and the MacKenzie Art Gallery
Location: MacKenzie Art Gallery
3475 Albert Street, Regina, Saskatchewan
www.shiftsymposium.ca
Feature Artist: Jayce Salloum
Keynote Speaker: Esther Shalev-Gerz
Keynote Performer: Eekwol
Day 1: Finding New Directions—Participatory Practices, Galleries and Groups
Day 2: Creating Common Ground—Cultural Translation, Trust and Language Crossings
Day 3:Positioning—Local and Global Narratives, Storytelling and Making Connections
SHIFT: dialogues of migration in contemporary art investigates creative responses by artists and galleries to the shifting geographies created by indigenous and non-indigenous movements of people and ideas. Reflecting on current debates about mobility, migration, placements and displacements in contemporary art and institutions, this three-day event provides a platform to discuss progress and issues in this field. Artists, curators, theorists, storytellers, musicians, educators, writers and the audience are invited to question and rethink the role of contemporary art in its transformative function.
While the first day draws on notable arts professionals and artists who have foregrounded and validated participation and engagement with diverse communities, the second day focuses on new artist practices with talks and performances on cultural translation. The third day will be devoted to storytelling and narrative, mobility, connectivity and collaboration with communities. Theories and best practices come hand-in-hand to provide a significant and radical overview of the subject. Prior to and during the symposium, a series of events will also take place across the city, including artist talks, exhibition openings, art performances and film screenings.
On Friday April 8th, the symposium will begin with a feature presentation entitled subjective affinities: concretizing the ephemeral - a social convergence by Feature Artist Jayce Salloum (Vancouver). On Saturday April 9th, Keynote Speaker Esther Shalev-Gerz (Paris) will present Trust and the Unfolding Dialogue, followed by a Keynote Performance Revitalizing and Redesigning the Word Warrior's Weapons by Cree hip hop emcee Eekwol (Saskatoon).
Featuring presentations and performances by: Brendan Fernandes, (Artist, New York); Janna Graham (Projects Curator at the Serpentine Gallery, London, UK); 2Fik (Artist, Montreal); Syrus Marcus Ware (Program Coordinator, Teens Behind the Scenes program, AGO, Toronto); Terrance Houle (Artist, Calgary); Cheryl L’Hirondelle (Artist, Toronto); Peter Morin (Artist, Victoria); Rachelle Viader Knowles (Artist, Regina); and Shelly Bahl (Artist, founding member of SAVAC (South Asian Visual Arts Centre) and ZEN-MIX 2000: Pan-Asian Visual Arts Network, New York); Judy Anderson (Artist, Regina); Deanna Bowen (Artist, Toronto); Barbara Meneley (Artist, Regina); Soheila Esfahani (Artist, Waterloo); Michelle LaVallee (Artist & Assistant Curator, MacKenzie Art Gallery, Regina); Neal McLeod (Art Historian and artist, Trent University, Peterborough); Srimoyee Mitra (Artist.
