You Are Here

Curators select and display works of art in exhibitions to tell particular stories. Historically, Aboriginal artists have been underrepresented in these narratives. Using work by six Aboriginal artists from the permanent collection at the AGO, You Are Here inserts new narratives in six different locations around the Gallery. Although they are physically separate, they function together to bring an Aboriginal dimension to the history of art.

You Are Here is a project by the students of Inside the AGO – an innovative course offered as part of OCAD’s MFA program in Criticism and Curatorial Practice. It provides students with an extended opportunity to learn about curatorial practice in a large public institution. Instructed and mentored by the AGO’s curatorial and education staff, their residency culminates in an art project created in collaboration with individuals from across the museum.

Curated by Ebony Haynes, Jordan MacInnis, Suzanne Morrissette, Sara Munroe and Lisa Myers.
