Online–VocalEye Tour of Kent Monkman’s Shame and Prejudice
Wednesday, November 4, 2020 | 6:30 – 8:30 PM
MOA is partnering with VocalEye, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to making public programming accessible for the blind and partially sighted, to offer an online recorded curatorial tour of Kent Monkman’s Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience with supplementary description by VocalEye and a Q + A to follow.
Shame and Prejudice takes you on a journey through the past 150 years of Canada. It is a journey that reclaims and reinserts Indigenous voices into the collective memory of our country, challenging and shattering colonial ideas of our history. The artist’s gender fluid, time-travelling alter-ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, is the narrator of this story, told through the lens of Indigenous resilience.
The VocalEye virtual lobby opens at 6:30 pm PDT for some pre-show mingling with host Amy Amantea. The pre-show introduction will begin at 6:45 pm with a descriptive overview. The tour begins at 7 pm led by MOA curator Jennifer Kramer (recording of October 22 Curator Tour). Running time is approximately 90 minutes followed by a Q + A with Issaku Inami, MOA Volunteer Associate Gallery Host and Marie Wustner, MOA Curator of Pubic Programming.
Amy Amantea has lived experience of disability and identifies as having a profound sight loss. She is currently the Community Outreach Coordinator for VocalEye, a podcaster, movie reviewer and community reporter for Accessible Media Inc and recently joined the Arts Club Theatre as their first Accessibility Coordinator.
