SUMMARY:Nocturne Artist Talk - Erasure Art Collective
DESCRIPTION:Erasure Art Collective (EAC) is an interdisciplinary arts group committed to researching and reinterpreting archival texts using visual\, poetic\, and performative erasure. Co-founders Shauntay Grant and Tyshan Wright have been collaborating and exhibiting together since 2017 when they created the multimedia artwork ‘Abeng’ for Canada: Day 1\, a national group exhibition presented by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. EAC’s inaugural project\, called BLACKOUT\, has been presented at Nocturne (2022)\, Atlantic Arts Symposium (2022)\, and the Canadian Association for Theatre Research Conference (2023). As artists with ancestral ties to the arrival of Black Loyalists\, Jamaican Maroons\, and Black Refugees to Nova Scotia in the late 1700s and early 1800s\, creating art that illuminates African Nova Scotian and African diasporic histories and experiences is a vital part of EAC’s research and creative work. The collective’s work is multilayered and highlights a research-creation approach to interpreting archival texts\, with BLACKOUT championing a multidisciplinary creative approach to the study and presentation of slavery in Atlantic Canada.

SUMMARY:Nocturne Artist Talk - Corrie Peters
DESCRIPTION:Corrie Peters (she/her) is an artist in conversation with social practice\, fibre art and installation\, among other mediums. Her artwork is building relationships that teach her how to listen to and learn from those often silenced through current systems of power. In this she holds so much gratitude for all those who have\, and continue to\, teach her about empathy\, activism\, change and care. The publicly displayed pieces are the documentation of Corrie’s artwork – translating what she has learnt to a larger audience. These are often layered projects that involve time\, both as a medium\, and as a component of viewing. Corrie lives as an uninvited guest with her family\, on the unceded land of the lək̓ʷəŋən people. Her work has been supported by grants from The Canada Council for the Arts\, Social Science and Humanities Research\, among others\, as well as through residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute and Salt Spring Arts Council. She also won the inaugural Salt Spring National Art Prize.
