Art Exhibition and Colloquium
Bringing the Future Forward: What Can A Girl Do With A Camera?
- A Photographic Tribute to the Memory of Jackie
Kirk
The photographic images in this exhibition and colloquium
are all produced by girls and young women in Montreal, Rwanda,
Swaziland and South Africa. Their photographs capture images
that illustrate the success/vulnerabilities/challenges they
face every day. The aim of this method of photovoice, as it
is called, is to see the world 'through their eyes'. Images
produced by a group of girls from Sinclair Laird School in
Montreal will be displayed alongside photographs produced
by girls in Africa and provided to McGill Education Prof.
Claudia Mitchell. A discussion about and with girls on girl
culture will round out the event, which is a tribute to Jackie
Kirk, a humanitatian aid worker and adjunct professor at McGill
who recently was killled in Afghanistan. Jackie Kirk had worked
closely with the girls at Sinclair Laird School and with Prof.
Mitchell. The event is also part of the Back to the Future:
Productive Remembering in Changing Times Workshop held in
the Faculty of Education, Oct. 22-24.
Time:
11:30pm-1:45pm.
Location:
