Join us for an afternoon Visual Arts lecture with Martha Kirszenbaum, a Paris-based independent curator who has worked across several continents.
Kirszenbaum has developed a diverse and eclectic curatorial practice that moves fluidly between traditional art institutions and more experimental contexts, and across countries and cultures.
Her work centres contemporary culture at the intersection of visual arts, music, performance, and popular culture. As co-lead faculty for the Nomadisms residency, she’ll discuss practices related to Middle Eastern and North African popular culture and the intersections with visual arts, music, and performance.
Nomadisms is a project-based residency that provides mentorship and studio time to visual artists working in a wide range of possible mediums, including ceramics, digital media, painting, performance art, and sculpture.
The residency invites artists to engage with the theme of nomadism as both a critical and aesthetic framework. Across their collaborations and creations, participants approach nomadism as a site of inquiry and a form of attentiveness to the earth.
This event is part of the Visual Arts Open Lecture Series, which presents talks by leading Canadian and international artists, curators, and academics.
Visual Arts is supported by Fondation DRG and the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
