Campus-wide art installations will be taking place at Davis Campus August 27 – December 14, 2018.
The Art & Storytelling series is a Creative Campus Galleries initiative that highlights voices and stories from historically marginalized communities through arts-based installations and programs.
The inaugural installation, Speak Up!, focuses on amplifying women’s voices and experiences through photographs by Mariam Magsi, an illustrated game book by Tara Krebs, a choir performance by artist Annie Wong, and a stand-up comedy night by Anasimone George and her peers at SHADE comedy series. These artists make visible some of women’s everyday experiences to spark conversations and support women who want to take up space and be heard.
Speak Up! is presented in collaboration with the Centre for Equity and Inclusion, the Dare to Care Campaign, the Faculty of Applied Health & Community Studies, the International Centre, Library and Learning Services, the Sheridan Student Union, and Student Affairs. Together, we are working towards an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures trust, motivates open participation, encourages risk-taking, and inspires creativity.
