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.
