Outerregion is an ad hoc social practice/performance collective founded by Camille Turner in collaboration with siblings Karen Turner and Lee Turner. The group was created to engage the public by creating perception altering experiences. These take many forms such as Afronautic Research Lab, a futuristic counter-archive that enables the public to encounter evidence of anti-Blackness and Black resistance stemming back to the enslavement of African people in places that appear, on the surface, to be innocent white spaces. In the photo above, Outeregion leads participants in a two-day, multi-sensory exploration and interrogation of sites and monuments within the vicinity of the University of Toronto’s downtown campus.
