Deanna Bowen: God of Gods: A Canadian Play

摘要

God of Gods: A Canadian Play was commissioned as part of the centennial programming for Hart House, an institution that has become woven into the fabric of the University of Toronto and its larger academic, social, and cultural circles over the last 100 years. The exhibit is a project by Deanna Bowen, a Toronto-based autoethnographic, interdisciplinary artist and a descendant of Black Albertans who migrated from Alabama and Kentucky, through Oklahoma and Kansas. Bowen's work, which often engages with race, slavery, migration, and white supremacy, "examines history, historical writing and the ways in which artistic and technological advancements impact individual and collective authorship." As such, her work frequently engages with and refigures archival source material.
