Event Description
Join us for the publication launch of Cheryl L'Hirondelle: where the voice touches (((acts, utterances, transmissions for freedom))), the first monograph on the multidisciplinary artist and singer/songwriter’s practice, published by The Magenta Foundation in collaboration with Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity; the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (AGNES), Queen’s University; and the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University.
Cheryl L’Hirondelle: where the voice touches (((acts, utterances, transmissions for freedom))) spans the celebrated artist’s expansive multi-decade practice. Featuring essays by Candice Hopkins, Jennifer Kennedy, Ayumi Goto and Peter Morin, and Tarah Hogue and Jacqueline Bell, the publication opens with a prayer by Joseph Naytowhow and includes an introduction by Emelie Chhangur and Jacqueline Bell. Alongside images of works in diverse media and performance documentation across nearly four decades, the monograph also shares documentation of the artist’s first career survey of the same title on view at Walter Phillips Gallery through June 21.
In conversation for the event are artist and singer/songwriter Cheryl L’Hirondelle; curator, writer, and artist Dylan Robinson; and the co-editors and co-curators of the publication and exhibition, Tarah Hogue and Jacqueline Bell. Sharing by knowledge keepers Duane Mark and Anders Hunter will respectively open and close the event. Following the conversation, a performance of L’Hirondelle’s work, Permission to Lie by the artist accompanied by Joseph Naytowhow will take place in Walter Phillips Gallery.
This publication is made possible through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and the Iris Westerberg Stern Fund, Concordia University.
