Imprentas Populares Mexicanas
Exhibición digital co-curada con David Fernández en la Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library
(En proceso)
This digital exhibition examines how popular presses in modern Mexico engaged with and contested official discourses of Mexican identity and nationhood through a rich visual culture that drew on colonial and post-colonial imaginaries. The prime materials of the exhibit also showcase how these representations of the Mexican nation were informed by gender stereotypes, ideas of race, and sexual norms.
Mapping Foolscap: Gay Oral Histories, 1981-1987
Exhibición digital co-creada con Zohar Freeman (2017)
Esta exhibición digital utiliza historias orales recopiladas por John Grube y Lionel Collier entre 1981 y 1987 para localizar los espacios en los que hombres gay se reunían, ligaban y socializaban en Toronto entre 1940 y finales de los 60's. Zohar Freeman y yo creamos esta exhibición en colaboración con el LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory, dirigido por la Dra. Elspeth Brown, y The Arquives: el archivo LGBTQ2+ canadiense.
Topografías indígenas de la vida después de la muerte
(En proceso)
This digital exhibition explores Indigenous stories, myths, and legends about death and the afterlife across the Americas through an analysis of colonial sources, ethnographies, oral traditions, material culture, and visual records. The exhibition offers a set of digital maps that locate these narratives across the Americas and allow the user to group stories, myths, and legends into categories based on the features they share or the contexts in which they were recorded.
