Nadine Valcin has been named Artist-in-residence at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School for the 2015-16 academic year where she will be working on Whitewash, an installation about slavery in Canada.
Osgoode’s Artist in Residency Program is designed to explore representations of justice and legal education in the context of Osgoode’s commitment to researching and teaching law in context. It welcomes projects focused on interpreting legal history, examining law’s realities today, and imagining law’s future, whether in Canada and/or elsewhere in the world. It is particularly interested in artists and projects that will reflect and enhance the diversity of the Osgoode community. Osgoode welcomes applications from artists of all disciplines, who work in any medium or combinations of media.
