Event

The Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS) continues their Lunchtime Seminar series with a presentation on the topic, “A Decade of 'Visual Arts After Indenture” by Professor Andil Gosine, Professor of Environmental Arts and Justice, York University, alongside Dr. Gabrielle Jamela Hosein, Senior Lecturer, IGDS.

The seminar takes place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. online via Zoom.

In this Lunchtime Seminar, Professor Andil Gosine reflects on more than a decade of scholarship, art, writing and curation that followed his first exhibit, Art After Indenture. He is in conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Hosein about his early thinking in the field of visual and performative art as it reflected on histories of indenture and how his approach evolved as he made art, produced scholarship and writing, lived and loved, and curated the work of many other artists and writers; influencing the development of transoceanic conversation, collaboration and community over nearly fifteen years. This webinar is the first in a series of conversations that trace the ideas, life and work of artists/writers/scholars who have been producing imaginative archives of indenture, and whose work also attends to intersections of gender, sexuality, family histories and feminisms in post-indenture sites and those to which descendants of indentured workers have migrated.
