Andrea Fatona is an Assistant Professor in the Criticism and Curatorial Program at OCAD University in Toronto. She was the former Curator of Contemporary Art at the Ottawa Art Gallery, Ontario and has worked as the Programme Director at Video In, Vancouver, Co-Director of Artspeak Gallery, Vancouver, and Artistic Director of Artspace Gallery, Peterborough, Ontario. She is a regular contributing editor to Fuse magazine, Toronto. In both her curatorial and teaching practices, she is interested is in experimenting with the ways in which art, ‘culture’ and ‘education’ can be employed to illuminate complex issues that pertain to social justice, citizenship, cultural diversity, belonging and nationhood. She is equally concerned with the pedagogical possibilities of art works produced by ‘other’ Canadians in articulating broader perspectives of Canadian identities. Some examples of her curatorial projects are: Queer Collaborations (1993), Across Borders (1995), Cadboro Bay: Index to an Incomplete History (1999), The Attack of the Sandwich Men (2001), a national touring exhibition entitled, Reading the Image: Poetics of the Black Diaspora (2006), Fibred Optics (2009) and Will Work for Food (2011). At its core, Fatona’s curatorial practice is concerned with creating spaces of engagement – inside and outside of the gallery walls - for publics to engage with as well as develop vocabularies for critically engaging with contemporary art. Her paper, Wi Deh Yah/We Are Here, inspired by the conference theme, Testify, reflects upon her personal journey of coming to voice and claiming space within the Canadian arts sphere as well as in the academy. 7:00pm-9:00pm – Reception EV-11.175
