We are back with a second season of With Opened Mouths: The Podcast, where we give artists, poets, performers, activists and curators a platform to speak about what motivates them to imagine new worlds. Subscribe now and join us every month as we listen to the sometimes-unexpected paths of these exceptional people.
Dr Qanita Lilla is Associate Curator, Arts of Africa at Agnes Etherington Art Center, Queen’s University situated on Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee Territory. At Agnes, Qanita cares for the Lang Collection of African Art and works with contemporary art practice from the diaspora to engage the African collection in the present. She is interested in the life and after-life of objects in collections, hidden histories, the representation of racialised minorities, and alternative practices of collections care. She has published in both peer-reviewed and popular publications, has contributed book chapters to anthologies and is the host of With Opened Mouths: The Podcast. Qanita is also Assistant Professor in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies in the Film and Media Department at Queen’s University.
With Opened Mouths: The Podcast is produced by Agnes Etherington Art Centre and is distributed in partnership with CFRC 101.9 FM, Queen’s University’s campus radio station.
Agnes thanks all of our fantastic guests who shared their stories and their practices with us through this podcast.
