Curator's Tour with Lisa Deanne Smith
Friday, March 15, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
power offers artworks that challenge dominant capitalist and state capitalist worldviews. These Toronto-based artists use their eloquent sculpture, drawing, painting, installation, and video practices to inspire and reflect ways of being that reposition the meaning of power to be grounded in respect, cooperation, and emotional intelligence.
Join power curator, Lisa Deanne Smith, for an in-depth curatorial tour
