What to see at virtual Nuit Blanche

The annual sundown to sun-up art event goes digital this year with augmented and virtual reality exhibitions, livestreamed talks, video screenings and a podcast series.

Camille Turner – Awakening

Turner likes to play around with mediums. She works in all different kinds of media and performance art. Her latest venture is a narrative short about Gloria Smith, a time traveller going back to stop the Transatlantic slave trade. Smith encounters two African travellers on her journey who have the weighty decision of whether to help her or rupture the space-time continuum in their hands. Turner is exploring Canadian and diasporic identity and contextualizing the Canadian involvement in the slave trade.
