What is too much for an image to bear and for viewers to bear in turn? Crossing the Line addresses issues of difficult knowledge, difficult histories, and difficult images in a free, public one-day symposium to be held at York University February 28, 2013. The symposium is held in conjunction with the AGYU exhibition Deanna Bowen: Invisible Empires, which looks at the role that the Ku Klux Klan played during the Civil Rights struggles in the United States and its century-long history in Canada.

 

The format will be a series of individual presentations and open discussion. Speakers include: Deanna Bowen, Alfredo Jaar, Steven Loft, Philip Monk, Kim Simon, and Shawn Michelle Smith.

 

The symposium is free but requires advance registration at: scarte@yorku.ca.

 

On-site registration begins February 28, 9:30 – 10:00 in room W132 Schulich School of Business (opposite AGYU). Symposium begins at 10:00.
