The gallery is open to the public and free of charge.
Current Exhibition
Camille Turner
Walker Cultural Leader
Camille Turner is an artist/scholar whose work combines Afrofuturism and historical research. She is a Provost’s postdoctoral fellow at University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, and her award-winning artworks are held in collections across Canada and internationally. Her most recent explorations confront Canada’s entanglement with the transatlantic trade in Africans, approaching colonial archives from the point of view of a liberated future.
Turner’s Afronautic methodology centralizes Blackness to expose silenced histories and explore potential futures. The Afronautic Research Lab is an innovative social practice project that offers the public an immersive art experience.
