Episode 5: Amy Fung

On today’s show, we talk to Amy Fung. As a curator, Amy has spent much of her time in the art world, challenging the colonial practices governing institutional art exhibition. In 2019, she turned that work into a book, titled Before I Was a Critic I Was a Human Being. The volume, published by Book*hug, examines Canadian mythologies of multiculturalism and settler colonialism. Amy was the co-founder of MICE Magazine and the Artistic Director of IMAGES Festival. She has worked across many art disciplines, channeling her energy into criticism, visual art, performance art, and film, and is now a PhD candidate at Carleton University. She joins us today to talk about criticism, performing your work, and collaboration in writing. Transcript coming soon. Find Amy at the links below.
