Our Gallery Guide team is hosting a talk with Artist Zun Lee (and Curator Sophie Hackett), on What Matters Most: Photographs of Black Life– this Thursday September 15, from 6 – 6:30pm, and all volunteers are invited to attend.
This exhibition features the AGO’s Fade Resistance Collection. Assembled by Toronto artist Zun Lee, the collection gathers Polaroid instant prints of African-American family life from the 1960s to the early 2000s. This debut presentation of more than 500 instant prints – including portraits, graduations, birthdays and family reunions – is a meditation on the role of family photographs in creating and maintaining a sense of Black identity, on memory and loss, on the ethics of institutional versus communal care, and on the importance of safeguarding visual culture.
This talk will take place over Zoom (linked below). A reminder: you can’t pre-register for Zoom calls, simply click on the link below to join us, on Thursday evening. This talk will be recorded and shared for those that can’t attend.
