Agnes and Yellow House presents

Black Light, presented through the Yellow House Student Centre for Equity and Inclusion‘s Black at Queen’s program, collaborates with The Studio, Agnes’s artist led workshop series that invites participants to meet innovative practicing artists from Kingston and across Canada, to learn about their creative practices and make art together.
Artist Jarena Lee will support participants in creating their own unique textile portraits using a mix of materials. All materials will be provided, and participants are also welcome to bring meaningful personal textiles to incorporate into their work.
This workshop brings together Black community to build community and find a sense of belonging at Queen’s and in Kingston.
Jarena Marie Lee (She/They) is a Black Queer American interdisciplinary artist based in Katarokwi Kingston, Ontario. With a background in Fine Arts and Theatre Performance, Lee’s works onstage, on screen and on canvas are calls to the intersections and beauties of the Black Queer American and Canadian experience. Through mixed media portraiture and performance, Lee centers the Black feminine, and the politics of unapologetic being, as an act of resistance.
