Enjoy this conversation and Q&A with Ukutula-Our Timeless Journeys curator, Qanita Lilla from the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, and artists Jessica Karuhanga and Winsom Winsom where they discuss working together to create the works included in the exhibition.
Curator, researcher, and writer Dr Qanita Lilla is Agnes’ Associate Curator, Arts of
Africa. Looking to make sense of and provide alternatives within an exclusionary
museum world, she is interested in excluded epistemologies, depictions of traumatic histories and collections, representations of racialized minorities, and the social roles of museums.

Jessica Karuhanga is a first-generation Canadian artist of British-Ugandan heritage who addresses politics of identity and Black diasporic concerns through lens-based technologies, sculpture, writing, drawing, and performance. Karuhanga’s practice explores self-articulation, beauty, illness, isolation, and grief through intuitive approaches to drawing and performative movement, centering on Black subjectivity and embodiment.

Winsom Winsom is a Maroon Canadian artist with a prolific career spanning several decades. Born and trained as an artist in Jamaica, Winsom’s art often explores themes of spirituality and identity. Her work is characterized by bold colours, dynamic brushstrokes and themes, and a sense of movement and energy.
