Over the past year, Let's Talk Kingston has engaged in panel discussions with a lens of anti-racism on topics that included some experiences of the BIPOC community, schools and law. On April 29th, at 12PM, we will be hosting a discussion bringing back panelists from each of the previous conversations. The intent of this discussion is to serve as a touch point to see what has shifted over the past year from a Kingston perspective.

Our goal is to foster a discussion with empathy and understanding with a dream of curating a future of equity, respect and dignity for all.

 

Dr Elmer Kolfin presents the 2021 Isabel and Alfred Bader Lecture in European Art.

All major Dutch collections have paintings representing Black figures and the Bader collection at Agnes is no exception. For a long time, Black presence in Dutch seventeenth-century art went unaccounted for and scholarship around this was thus absent in academic texts and museum exhibitions. However, research of the past thirty years has drawn increased attention to the ubiquitous presence and varying roles of Black figures in Dutch art. In this lecture, Dr Elmer Kolfin examines why Black figures recur so frequently in Dutch art, and whether and why Rembrandt’s approach differed from that of his contemporaries.

 Queen's BIPoC Sharing Circle

Join this circle for an opportunity to share, learn, listen and be in community with students who identify as BIPoC. The past year has seen challenges associated with systemic racism and discrimination exacerbated for BIPoC communities in the face of COVID-19. It has also unearthed invaluable opportunities to come together in community to uplift, learn from and support one another. We are honoured to have Elder In Residence for the Faculty of Education Deb St. Amant (Bezhig Waabshke Ma’iingan Gewetigaabo) and Cultural Counsellor Lisa Doxtator from Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre join us to lead a sharing circle that will invite reflection and shared support to close the academic year (and begin the final term for BEd students) in solidarity. For those interested, visions for beginning collective healing and community building can be shared to build hope for stronger connections in the coming academic year.
