You are invited to participate in the design of an exhibition that draws on the Lang Collection of African art that is held at the Agnes Etherington Art Gallery at Queen’s University. The collection holds more than 500 pieces, mostly West African sculptures from the 19th and early 20th centuries and can be viewed on the Agnes’ website.

We are specifically interested in showcasing responses to the collection by members of the African and diasporic communities at both Queen’s, the Kingston community and the surrounding area such as Ottawa. Interested participants are asked to select a piece or pieces from the collection that they would like to respond to. Responses could be in any of many forms such as comparing the piece to a more contemporary work of art or object in their own collections, by story-telling, music, explanatory notes or analysis, poetry etc.

Please let us know if you are interested to participate! Please indicate which piece from the Lang Collection you wish to respond to by including the item number which you will find by clicking on the image on the website (eg M84-132). If you wish to respond by including items of your own in the display, please say if you are willing to loan these items to the gallery for the two years that the exhibition will be open. Any such items would need to be brought to the gallery by end of December so the gallery has time to prepare them for display. We would like to have participants confirmed by September 30, and final selection of pieces and responses completed as soon as possible after that. Responses will need to be ready for submission to the gallery by the end of December.

We will also be holding an information and discussion event at the Gallery Wednesday September 23 although it is not necessary to attend this meeting in order to participate.

Please send your note of intent and any questions you may have to the committee using the contact below:
