Lockyer Criticism and Curatorial Practice OCAD University This thesis establishes a critical genealogy of the history of curating Indigenous art in Canada from an Ontario-centric perspective. Since the pivotal intervention by Indigenous artists, curators, and political activists in the staging of the Indians of Canada Pavilion at Expo 67 in Montreal, Quebec, the curation of Indigenous art in Canada has moved from a practice of necessity, largely unrecognized by mainstream arts institutions, to a professionalized practice that exists both within and on the margins of public galleries.

  • Truth Commission Discourse and the Aesthetics of Reconciliation
    LCH0010.1177/1743872115603665Law, Culture and the HumanitiesVallee 603665research-article2015 LAW, CULTURE AND THE HUMANITIES Article Law, Culture and the Humanities 1 –16 Truth Commission Discourse © The Author(s) 2015 Reprints and permissions: and the Aesthetics of sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1743872115603665 Reconciliation lch.sagepub.com Mickey Vallee University of Lethbridge, Canada Abstract Truth Commissions have come to be regarded as a turning point for post-conflict and post- authoritarian states in transition. In this article, I argue that truth commission testimony, broadly defined to include artistic, cultural, and media productions, must be experienced as forms of affective materiality over discursive inscription. Using as an instrumental case study the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2008–2015), I conceptualize testimony as a necessary re-fictionalization of the past, present, and future of a nation. The truth commission discourse, especially in Canada, works to protect the perpetrators by (1) disallowing their identities from entering into the public record, and (2) creating bystanders out of those perpetrators that allows for an innocent and ineffective witnessing. The push for forgiveness harnesses an imperative for truth commissions to idealize and idolize the emotional moment of testimony. It is imperative to resist the spectacle of confession and testimony. But the witness must not be discarded. The witness must be found in those cultural institutions beyond truth commission events to include the aesthetics of reconciliation. Keywords Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada; transitional justice; testimony; voice I. Inarticulate Voice This research originated in the classroom. It grows from a course in social problems I teach at the University of Lethbridge, traditional land of the Kaínaí Indian Reserve No.
