Event Description
Architectures of Protection reflects on ideas and modes of protection and refuge – with regards to oneself, to community, knowledge, culture, identity and land. What are these spaces and practices? What is protection for some and not for others?Together, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and in the current global social and political climate, the artworks in Architectures of Protection direct critical attention towards systems and structures that shape and impact everyday and sacred environments and encounters, alongside individual and collective relationships with the land.
Architectures of Protection features artworks by Dana Claxton, Jessica
Karuhanga, Emilio Rojas, Beth Stuart and France Trépanier.
