This Week at Agnes

Registration for Art Camp opens next week!

Registration for Agnes’s wildly popular art camp opens next week on 19 February at 10 am. In the past, our camps have filled up quickly, so here are some good things to have on hand to ease your registration:

• ensure you’re logged into our website before you begin your registration process. If you don’t have an account, please sign up using the link on the camp page.
• have a document open with the following information laid out, ready for you to cut and paste into the registration form:
  • the camper’s health card number
  • medical information and any allergies
  • two emergency contacts (not including yourself)
  • the names and phone numbers for adults approved for pick-up and drop-off
  • accommodations the camper may require

Please note that you can only register one camper at a time. A wait list for each week will open as the camps fill up. If you have any questions about registration, please email our program team at aeacpa@queensu.ca.

Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys goes digital!

Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys is on now at Museum London. The exhibition, presented by Agnes and curated by our own Associate Curator, Arts of Africa, Qanita Lilla, sees masks and crests from the Justin and Elisabeth Lang Collection in chorus with contemporary art by artists from the Asian and African diaspora. Can’t make it to London just yet to see the exhibition? Enter our digital publication! Complete with an in-depth essay by Dr Lilla, a seven minute video tour of the space and individual artists pages, this publication is almost (but not quite!) like being there in person. Experience the digital publication today.

Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys is on now until 11 May 2025.

In conversation at Museum London

Join Ukutula: Our Timeless Journeys artists Jessica Karuhanga and Winsom Winsom and exhibition curator Dr Qanita Lilla for a conversation and Q&A at Museum London. Together they will discuss the exhibition, its development and their works within it.

With Opened Mouths Ep. 1 Season 3

It’s finally here! The first episode of With Opened Mouths (Episode 1, Season 3) featuring artist Camille Turner in discussion with host, Qanita Lilla, Agnes’s Associate Curator, Arts of Africa.

Camille Turner is an award-winning artist/scholar whose work combines Afrofuturism and historical research. Her most recent explorations confront the entanglement of what is now Canada in the transatlantic trade in Africans. She has developed an Afronautic research approach that considers colonial archives from the point of view of a liberated future. Camille is a graduate of OCAD University and recently completed a PhD at York University’s Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change and a Provost’s postdoctoral fellowship at University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design.
