Join us to explore Emmanuel Osahor’s artwork in the Mitchell Art Gallery’s current exhibition, Articles of Faith, through a conversation between the artist, scholar Dr. Peter Sabo and sociologist Dr. Robin Willey. Together, they will discuss Osahor’s mural, Sylvie’s Garden (Composite, Version 1) and its relationship to ideas of utopia, sanctuary and sabbath. The conversation will explore rest as a method of resisting the ethic of productivity in late capitalism found in art, literature and the Hebrew Bible.
This virtual artist talk is open to MacEwan staff and faculty, and free for all to attend via Vimeo.
This exhibition and research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, MacEwan University and Concordia University of Edmonton.
