Abstract
For We Are the Children of The Sun is a thesis project which aims to utilize abstraction and non-figuration as methods of representation for Black Women on Turtle Island. Through a personal contemplation of identity and ancestry, symbols such as hair and the Sun function as connectors to the African diaspora, and its many manifestations of Blackness. The project also considers what it means to be making on Turtle Island: a place built on colonial genocide and where covert systems of oppression and manifestations of racism negate the national proclamation of diversity. The thesis project examines and refutes what it means to be ‘Canadian’, and rather turns to a diasporic community which extends past the borders of land. The objective is to reimagine representation for the Black Woman, and to center resilience and community as primary concerns, through a collaboration with the Sun. |
