Wandering Ground is a multi-disciplinary exhibition exploring social identity through anecdotal histories, diaspora and metaphor. From hysterical modernization to pop culture activism, the works within the exhibition look closely at coping mechanisms and the dream worlds that mirror dangerous power structures.
The works in this exhibition were created by student artists in the inaugural Jack Weinbaum Family Foundation Global Experience Project ̶ a trailblazing initiative designed to explore and build Canada’s prominence in global communities of art and culture. Launched in 2016, the project was established to bring leading international artists to OCAD U while providing a unique opportunity for OCAD U students to travel abroad over the next five years. Each four-to-six-week artist residency at OCAD U is followed by a reciprocal visit by selected students to the artist’s home community. In 2017, during the inaugural year, OCAD U hosted the renowned artist Isaac Julien, culminating in experiences in Toronto, Buffalo, New York, and London, England.
