Nelson and her colleagues — a group of established and up-and-coming artists, scholars, and cultural critics — argue for an African Canadian Art History that can simultaneously examine the artistic contributions of black Canadian artists within their unique historical contexts, critique the colonial representation of black subjects by white artists, and contest the customary racial homogeneity of Canadian Art History." -- Publisher's website

The goal is to create a framework that allows for empathetic viewing of works of art concerning experiences that may not be akin to one’s own. In this way, it is hoped that visitors can become more aware of the ways in which empathy goes beyond acceptance and challenges normative assumptions about the lived experiences of others." -- p. 1.

It is fascinating how this ban on chewing gum has unfavorably positioned Singapore internationally. Today, Singapore still upholds the ban on the import of chewing gum but in a provision of the FTA has given in to the limited import of therapeutic chewing gum (e.g. nicotine gum). In this work, we seek to problematize the notion of free trade by reflecting on the ways in which it brings deeper cultural and political differences to the forefront. Toward this end, our video installation is composed of interviews with Singaporeans who are asked to express their views about the FTA, free trade, U.S. imports and their cultural meanings (liberal values, consumer lifestyles, etc). Placed on the floor of a 20-ft container shipped from Singapore to the U.S.A. is a blob of chewed-up gum approximately 10 ft in diameter. Embedded in it are two TV screens showing the interviews and a number of symbolic objects. The installation will allow the audience to move around and look at the two TV screens, which are mounted horizontally, at a comfortable height, as well as at the other embedded objects. The items in the heap, placed at different positions and angles, will consist of a variety of everyday objects caught in various degrees of contact with the chewing gum. The interviews will be interspersed with video clips of 1980s coverage of the chewing gum ban in Singapore as well as other video snippets.
