Passages III: Like Flesh and Blood


May 07, 2015 to May 17, 2015


Part of Mayworks Festival

Exhibition: Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 17
Opening reception: Friday, May 8, 7 to 9 pm

A work by Gita Hashemi, Like Flesh and Blood starts from the memoirs of Joseph Emin (1726-1809), an Armenian born in Iran and raised in Bengal, who traveled to Europe to garner support for Armenian liberation. Emin's journey unfolded during a period when European colonialisms were competing with one another and fast consolidating across Asia, Africa and the Americas, a time when settler states were growing out of merchant colonies. Hear Emin's accounts of his days as a migrant labourer, learn about contemporaneous developments on Turtle Island and "re-discover" Toronto, the land of the Mississaugas.
