Summary

In this episode, Dr. Andrea Fatona and I explore the importance of knowledge transfer, intergenerational relationships, collective memory, and peer learning in curating. Dr. Fatona is cherished by many as an educator and knowledge facilitator. During our conversation, she shares the socio-political context that has informed her practice. She also talks about key practitioners and collaborators who have supported her research, allowed her to experiment, and trusted her vision. The same collective energy that has nurtured her career has propelled the recent establishment of her dream project, the Centre for the Study of Black Canadian Diaspora at OCAD University. As we unpack the ongoing urgency that comes with working as a Black curator, we explore the definitions of failure and practice, which are closely linked to the importance of repetition and risk-taking for creative freedom and expansion.
