The McMaster Museum of Art is pleased to add a special event to our spring schedule:
Artist’s Talk by Deanna Bowen
Thursday, March 19, 12:30 – 1:20 pm
Deanna Bowen’s artwork sum of the parts: what can be named, 2010 is a centrepiece of the exhibition This is Me, This is Also Me, now on view at the Museum. In the eighteen minute video, Bowen recounts the ‘disremembered’ journey of the Bowen family from its earliest documented history in Clinton, Jones County, Georgia in 1815. (See the transcript) It is a performed oral history specially commissioned by VTape.
Deanna Bowen is a Toronto-based video installation and performance artist, whose work combines personal autobiography and archival research to raise questions about the silences and gaps in familial and collective histories of slavery, racism, and migration. Her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and film festivals and, in the spring of 2013, she curated a solo show at The Art Gallery of York University about the Ku Klux Klan and its migration to Canada.
