About Otherworld
Otherworld is the first major solo museum exhibition by Camille Turner in Toronto. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Turner is widely recognized for her transformative examination of Black history in the Canadian national narrative. The immersive exhibition, which comprises new and past works in video, performance, and digital and sonic media, is grounded in Turner’s uniquely developed Afronautic research methodology—blending Afrofuturism and historical research. Working from the point of view of a liberated future, the exhibition traces Canada’s entanglement in the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans as buried in the archives.
Learn more about the exhibition Otherworld on view at the Art Museum through March 22, 2025.
