Memory Keeper: A Retrospective of Films by Jennifer Dysart (AGNES)
11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Agnes's Open Secret: The Second Edition continues as a series composed of screenings, conversations, and workshops with guest curator, Jennifer Smith, and filmmaker, Jennifer Dysart.
Memory Keeper, the title of this iteration curated by Smith, is a look back at the work of Dysart who uses archives as a source material and pieces together stories of Indigenous life using archival material. The materials used were most often documentation taken by settlers of Indigenous communities. Jennifer’s films tell a story that was not intended when the original footage was taken, but that tells a narrative through an Indigenous lens.
Curated by Nasrin Himada
Memory Keeper is a partnership between Agnes Etherington Art Centre and the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC)
Supported by the George Taylor Richardson Memorial Fund, Queen’s University.
