INVOLVEMENT IN THE ARTS
I participate in art museum and gallery events to speak to how contemporary artists engage politics across the Global South.
I have done past events for The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto and the Mini-Gallery of Underground Anticulture with locations in Minsk and Kiev.
I am continuing the work of public education through the museum space as the 2023-24 J. Clawson Mills Scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, conducting research on feminist painters from Pakistan who opposed the military dictatorship of General Zia ul Haq (1977-1988).
Please contact me at kristin.plys@utoronto.ca for museum or gallery speaking engagements.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
In addition to my involvement in the arts, I also work with various community organizations related to my academic expertise.
