Art & Struggle
March 8-9, 2012
The term “struggle” contains both liberating and oppressive connotations. The resulting tension has long been considered an inherent aspect of art production. Struggle manifests in various forms, whether political, cultural, economic, or personal. While the “struggling artist” has been a problematic art historical trope, this symposium seeks to revisit the issue of struggle in an unromanticized, contemporary vein.
The conference committee would like to thank: the CADN first year students, Xerox Canada and the Office of Graduate Studies at OCAD University for their generous support.
