TORONTO, May 13, 2021 鈥� 91亚色鈥檚 School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design (AMPD) is co-hosting a Virtual Reality (VR) tour of the remounted Art Gallery of Ontario exhibition Tunirrusiangit: Kenojuak Ashevak and Tim Pitsiulak Revisited, May 14, from 4 to 5 p.m.

Art history and her curatorial students will be conducting the tour, organized as part of the monthlong , produced by Educators in VR. AMPD also will be present.

During the in 2018, the AGO showcased art by Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak and her nephew Tim Pitsiulak at its largest exhibition space, the Sam & Ayala Zacks Pavilion. The current remounted exhibition is presented in virtual space, through a collaboration among the AGO, AMPD鈥檚 Mobilizing Inuit Cultural Heritage (MICH) project and , a novel platform for virtual art exhibits and collecting started by artist and entrepreneur, Brendon McNaughton.

The virtual exhibition was created by Hudson鈥檚 curatorial studies class during this winter semester, addressing the pandemic closures.

鈥淰irtually meeting my students and invited speakers in our collaboratively curated VR exhibition has been magical,鈥� says Hudson, who is also MICH project鈥檚 principal investigator. 鈥淒espite COVID-19 lockdown, we bonded across cultures, race, geography, and generations, and talked about our collective reckoning of settler-Indigenous relations.鈥�

Bay-Cheng points out that the international art market is moving towards the virtual space when people can鈥檛 or won鈥檛 travel the same. 鈥淏ut more importantly, this provides expanded access, including to the communities who might not be able to attend an exhibit at the AGO in Toronto.

鈥淚t also highlights the need for robust internet access in rural communities, including Indigenous, Inuit and First Nations here in Canada, and around the word. There鈥檚 a question of digital inequality that we鈥檙e committed to solving, in part by highlighting the potential and the opportunities for these kinds of projects to reach a wider and more inclusive community,鈥� Bay-Cheng adds.

Both Bay-Cheng and Hudson are available for media interviews on the exhibition听and topics related听to art history, and visual arts and the international art market, including their foreseeable future.

NYU Prof Philip Alston to speak on the role of Human Rights Watch in responding to the rise of neoliberal economic policies and the global inequality these produce

TORONTO, March 15, 2021 鈥� Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor of Law at New 91亚色 Law School and UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, will give the annual 鈥極r 鈥楨met Lecture at 91亚色鈥檚 Osgoode Hall Law School on Friday, March 26, 2021 from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST on Zoom.听The topic of his address will be 鈥淣eoliberalism and Human Rights: The Role of Human Rights Watch.鈥�

RSVP:

Alston was UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions (2004-10), Chairperson of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1991-98), Independent Expert on reform of the UN human rights treaty body system (1989-97), Special Advisor to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the Millennium Development Goals (2004-07), a member of the Security Council Commission of Inquiry on the Central African Republic, and he participated in the Independent International Commission on Kyrgyzstan.

One of the most consistent and telling lines of criticism of the international human rights movement in recent years is that it has had all too little to say in response to the rise of neoliberal economic policies, especially as inequality has grown dramatically. While states and international organizations have been key players in shaping this response, non-governmental organizations have also played a leading role.听This lecture considers the contribution made by Human Rights Watch, a successful and influential organization whose policies have been the subject of little scholarly analysis.

The 鈥極r 鈥楨met Lecture is presented annually by Osgoode鈥檚 Jack & Mae Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security, with the assistance of the 鈥極r 鈥楨met Fund. The Fund, which was established in 1976, seeks to promote through public discussion, research and scholarly writing, public and professional appreciation of the significance of religion, ethics, culture and history in the development of the legal system. 鈥極r 鈥楨met means 鈥渢he light of truth.鈥�
