MAKING THINGS MATTER: CONSIDERING CITATION AS A FORM OF COMMUNITY Facilitated by cheyanne turions

By bringing a critical lens to bear on citation, Making Things Matter will explore how activist orientations to the practice of citation have the capacity to disrupt the self-evidence of received ideologies and thus work to perpetuate different narratives of mattering, while simultaneously drawing attention to how mattering happens at all. This experimental and participatory workshop will encourage approaches to citation from a critical perspective, creating the conditions for other kinds of ontologies to emerge: decolonial, anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, considerate of wisdoms made outside of academic settings. Presented in partnership with Ottawa Art Gallery.

Workshop runs from 10 AM to 4PM

The Authors

cheyanne turions

cheyanne turions

cheyanne turions is an independent, Toronto-based curator and writer who holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia. Her work approaches the space of exhibition as alive—the gallery is a space of dialogue where artists, curators and publics can reflect on and experiment with ways of seeing (and being). Most recently she co-curated Eating Bodies: Towards a Consummate Consumption with Leila Timmins, a four-week experiment in informal education that focused on the political dimensions of the culinary. In the spring she participated in Talk Show alongside James Baldwin and Jackie Wang at SBC Gallery, an exhibition focused on the art and politics of conversation. Forthcoming writing projects include contributions to MAWA’s Desiring Change: Contemporary Canadian Feminist Art and Duane Linklater’s The Wood Land School Reader. In 2015 she was presented with the Hnatyshyn Foundation’s Emerging Curator of Contemporary Canadian Art Award. She sits on the Board of Directors for Kunstverein Toronto, the Editorial Advisory Committee for C Magazine and the Advisory Board for the newly federated institution comprising the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery and University of Toronto Art Centre. She is the director of No Reading After the Internet (Toronto).
