Presented by SAQA Atlantic Canada - registration open to all SAQA members.
With so many forced to stay at home during these “Covid times”, the domestic has moved to the forefront of our lives in new ways. As home functions more and more as a place of work and school the line between what is public and what is domestic is blurring. Consider, for instance, how often we now see on television people in their real homes with a kitchen sink or other elements of domestic life clearly on display in the background.
Register now to hear Andrea Tsang Jackson of 3rd Story Studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia speak on how she seeks to bring traditionally domestic objects into the public realm and aims to initiate conversations about the role of domestic arts in the fine art world.
