The Art Museum at the University of Toronto is proud to present the powerful new exhibition Labour by guest curator Ingrid Jones from Sept. 4, 2024–March 22, 2025, at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery. The exhibition challenges racial biases, unveiling the corrosive effects of unseen labour on the colonized from Black and Indigenous perspectives while exploring how this labour can be unburdened and shifted onto the dominant. Featured artists are: Natalie Asumeng, La Tanya S. Autry, Tony Cokes, Chantal Gibson, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Kosisochukwu Nnebe, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Martine Syms. Labour introduces an exciting number of new commissions that embrace alternative pedagogies focused on decolonial perspectives, offering immersive experiences that prioritize rest and reflection for BIPOC communities, while also activating learning opportunities that encourage audiences to engage deeply with the exhibition space.

 

Admission to the Art Museum is always free and all are welcome.
