This Week at Agnes

ART + PUBLIC UnLtd. hosts a virtual tour

ART + PUBLIC UnLtd. invites you on a virtual tour through three of Agnes’s current exhibitions, Chris Curreri: A Surrogate, A Proxy, A Stand-In, Studies in Solitude and The Dark Room. We bring you an exhibition experience that gives you a sense of the program in space, an understanding of curatorial considerations, dialogues between artist Chris Curreri and Agnes curators Emelie Chhangur and Suzanne van de Meerendonk, insights behind key works and a live Q&A opportunity facilitated by ART + PUBLIC UnLtd.’s Rebecca Carbin.

It is also an opportunity to experience Agnes Reimagined, the institutional transformation currently in play at Agnes. Sign up for this free event.

Traditional Indigenous Talking Circle facilitated by Georgina Riel-Waabishki Mukwa Kwe

The Sharing Circles and the Talk Back are a starting point for what we hope grows into a continuous conversation with you. Our work will be to translate the physical, sensory and spatial experiences that you want into a holistic design that is inclusive, equitable and supports Indigenous traditions, experiences and world views.

This Sharing Circle focuses on themes of Housing, Caring and Hospitality. Please join us to share what will make Agnes Reimagined feel like home.

We welcome Katarokwi Indigenous community, Queen’s Indigenous Students, Staff, Faculty, members of EDI and the broader community to take part in a hybrid Sharing Circle for Agnes Reimagined. The in-person session takes place at 138 Union Street, Robert Sutherland Hall, Queen’s University.  Register by 28 April
