About To go boldly
Organized by the Varley Art Gallery of Markham
Curated by Anik Glaude
The exhibition runs from May 25 to September 2, 2024
To go boldly explores how contemporary artists look to science fiction to confront the past, make sense of the present, and envision the future. This genre can explore complex social and cultural topics, such as racial justice, colonial violence, gender identity, and ableism. Employing worldbuilding as a key methodology, artists create alternate realities with otherworldly elements to escape conventional norms and establish new narratives.
