Sylvia D. Hamilton – Excavation: Here We Are Here

The Gallery assisted artist, poet, filmmaker, and educator Sylvia D. Hamilton on the adaptation and installation of her exhibition in the Atrium of Dalhousie University's Schulich School of Law. Excavation: Here We Are Here is the fourth iteration of an organic multi-media installation originally titled Excavation: A Site of Memory when mounted at the Dalhousie Art Gallery in 2013. It uses a personal and collective frame within which to view and explore the complex, linked concepts of memory, place, and history in the African Nova Scotian community. This exhibition was timed to coincide with the International Decade for People
