On November 6, 2020, Emerge will visit Or Gallery for a virtual behind-the-scenes tour. Laurie White, Assistant Curator at Or and alumna of the Critical and Curatorial Studies program (CCST) at UBC, will lead the tour, focusing on how artist-run centres function as spaces for critical research and interdisciplinary practice, new methods of curating and community-based projects. The tour will include a glimpse of their current show The Gas Imaginary and will be followed by a short Q&A.

About Emerge

Emerge is a series of talks, workshops and behind-the-scenes tours dedicated to introducing visual art and art history students to the Vancouver art scene, with an emphasis on professional development. Each year, Emerge focuses around a key theme or set of ideas to guide discussions and events. The guiding themes of the 2020-21 academic year are Art, Community, and Social Change. Emerge is organized by the Belkin Art Gallery, the Art History Students’ Association, the Visual Art Students’ Association and the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at UBC. For more information about Emerge, contact Naomi Sawada, Manager of the Belkin’s Public Programs, at naomi.sawada@ubc.ca.

We are excited to open Emerge events to both UBC students and non-students. We ask that you RSVP to receive a zoom link ahead of time by emailing belkin.rsvp@ubc.ca with your name and affiliation, if any.
