"Free Expression: Canadian Video Art and Free Trade in North America”



The late twentieth century witnessed Canada’s increasing economic integration with the United States and Mexico under progressively larger free trade agreements. Focusing on Canadian video art, in my presentation I will discuss how contemporary artists responded to and commented on issues of free trade, examining their critical engagement with changes in Canada and North America. Through analysis of several video works, I suggest that consideration of cultural production is integral to properly assessing histories of free trade in North America.
