This conversation occurred September 24, 2020 for a live audience in the AGH Pavilion, in alignment with the safety protocols and guidelines as set by the Government of Ontario at the time of filming.

Reflecting on the Hamilton-based artist’s retrospective exhibition, Nora Hutchinson: Rebel Opera, this talk dives deep into Hutchinson's approach to art-making, song-writing, collaboration, and the ways her process has evolved over the last four decades. Rebel Opera closes January 3, 2021. 

About the exhibition

Nora Hutchinson (Hamilton, Canadian b. 1951) occupies a key position in the evolution of video art and performance installation, contributing works while these artistic genres were very much in their infancy. This retrospective exhibition covers four decades of work, and features her film and video practice. Rooted in feminism and performativity, her evocative moving image works build on her theatrical and musical sensibilities.
