Art as Resilience | Vectors of Transmission Panel Discussion

Throughout the pandemic, the arts have remained both a source and force of resilience, providing ways to navigate and understand the changing COVID-19 environment. AGG’s exhibition Vectors of Transmission takes a look at this emerging visual culture, with a focus on the unique perspectives of Indigenous artists.

Join us on Wednesday, October 6, 6:30 pm, for a discussion with featured artists Ruth Cuthand, Bonnie Devine, Bea Parsons, Barry Pottle, and Katherine Takpannie, whose work provides vital context for this novel virus, highlighting how its impacts are not experienced equally and consistently across populations but are rather tied to wider colonial histories.

Vectors of Transmission is on view at the Art Gallery of Guelph until October 10, 2021.
