This workshop is presented in conjunction with This Is Me, This is Also Me, a group exhibition focusing on self-representation and self-portraiture. Bringing together a thought-provoking mix of Canadian-based and international works, the exhibition addresses critical or interrogated self-representation in relation to multiple selves, the self-other relation, and the constitution of gender, sexuality, critical embodiment, race, and Indigeneity. Through photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, installation, sculpture, and video art, the curators consider how representations of displacement, doubling, recognition and mis-recognition, and mutability unsettle ideas about memory and countermemory in autobiographical art.

This Is Me, This is Also Me is curated by Dr. Sarah Brophy and Dr. Janice Hladki.
