Virtual Lecture with Victoria Nolte
Tuesday, June 28, 2:00 pm (PDT)

Victoria Nolte, art historian, joined us online on Tuesday, June 28, for an exploration into the experience of time in Jin-me Yoon’s exhibition Here Elsewhere Other Hauntings.

Critically reflecting upon immigrant relations in North American and East Asian contexts, Jin-me Yoon’s lens-based art practice investigates inherited histories, the making of diasporic subjectivities, and the endurance of the landscape through time. This lecture will examine a number of key works in her solo exhibition Here Elsewhere Other Hauntings, unpacking visual strategies the artist uses to engage with the social and political forces that impact memory and a sense of belonging in diaspora. Collectively, Yoon’s works give shape to a temporality that bends, twists, and meets at intersecting points, interweaving experiences of historical, geological, and familial time.

Victoria Nolte is an art historian and doctoral candidate in the interdisciplinary Cultural Mediations program at Carleton University. Her doctoral work focuses on the visual cultures of Asian diasporas in North America, examining issues of site-responsiveness, historical representation, and practices of world-making in installation and media works by Asian Canadian artists.

Broadly, her research focuses on two streams: on the collection, exhibition, and study of Asian art in Canada, and on rethinking global migration (both forced and voluntary) as an integral part of the story and construction of Canadian art. She is currently managing editor for the journal Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas and a contract instructor in the School for Studies in Art and Culture at Carleton University.
