In an effort to challenge perceptions of race and identity in Canada, students from OCAD University in Toronto created 'One who Protects a Sibling' -- a project in which pairs of black and indigenous students work with one another to "exhibit the mediated objects and experiences that reflect the dialogues about each other’s identities, aesthetics, and relations to the land."
Equal parts impactful and personal, 'One who Protects a Sibling' confronts and challenges race and identity issues through a Canadian lens, while creating a dialogue that promotes the emotional and cultural protection of both co-creators. The exhibition is taking place as part of the Design Festival in Toronto, with its opening reception on Friday, January 18th.
