This website accompanies a site-specific installation using rubbings of surfaces around
Concordia University as code to reveal messages about students
in the public education system.
By creating a coded message for viewers to participate in decoding, I hope to demystify some of the preconceptions brought about by Western imperialistic ways of thinking which put the population into two limiting categories; intelligent or unintelligent, consequently marginalizing those who don't perceive themselves as belonging to the former. The message I chose is meant to make the viewer think differently about the judgments that they place on others or themselves while also acting as messages of hope and encouragement. The installation can be viewed at Concordia's EV building on the 8th floor (art side) from March 15th-29th. If you were unable to see it in person please indulge in decoding the message on this website. |
