Considering the larger concept of “curating on a co
ntinuum\,” Chhangur simultaneously looks backwards and forwards with a view
of her practice as a portal of multi-directional transformation and change
. Considering key projects along the way—in particular those staged at the
Art Gallery of York University (AGYU) in Toronto—and how they informed her
concept of In-Reach\, she turns her attention to thinking about
Emelie Chha ngur is a curator\, writer\, and an artist. She is the newly appoi nted Director and Curator of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. This appoint ment follows a significant curatorial career at the Art Gallery of York Uni versity (AGYU). At AGYU\, she led the reorientation of the gallery to becom e a civic\, community-facing\, ethical space driven by social process and i ntersectional collaboration\, she founded the gallery’s residency program\, and she received 25 OAAG awards for her contributions in writing\, publish ing\, exhibition-making\, and public and education programming.
Disti nguishing herself as a cultural worker dedicated to questioning the social and civic role of the public institutions of art\, Chhangur has developed a curatorially-engaged approach to working across cultural\, aesthetic\, and social differences through a practice she calls “in-reach”—a concept that has since transformed engaged institutional practice in the arts across Can ada. In 2019\, she won the Ontario Association of Art Galleries’ inaugural BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, People of Colour) Changemaker Award and in 2020 \, she won the prestigious Hnatyshyn Foundation Award for Curatorial Excell ence. She holds a Master of Visual Studies from the Daniels Faculty of Arch itecture\, Landscape\, and Design\, University of Toronto.
This visit is made possible by the generous support of the Audain Endowment for Curat orial Studies.
