Alumni kudos!

Kudos to….  Abigail Celis (MSP11) was a collaborator in creating a new exhibition this fall.  Abi is an assistant professor in Art History and Museum Studies at the Université de Montréal, with a background in cultural studies. She co-created The Catalogue of Speculative Translations Act II: Fugitivities at the Galerie de l’Université de Montréal.  The Catalogue creates moments of flight out of the architecture of colonial capture. Through visual translations and archival fragmentations, the exhibition interrupts museological apparatuses that seize human lives and material bodies through processes of naming, knowing and extraction.  Act II: Fugitivities responds to objects of France’s colonial empire held by Marseille’s Museum of African, Oceanian, and Amerindian Art.
