Camille Turner’s Solo Exhibition - Nave

December 25, 2022

November 18th to January 18th
Central Art Garage,
66 B Lebreton St. N, Ottawa, ON

Central Art Garage presents a solo exhibition of the work of Camille Turner featuring the prize winning 3-channel video installation, Nave. This immersive multimedia installation explores the entanglement of colonial Canada in the transatlantic trade of enslaved Africans. In Nave a time traveller from the Age of Awakening – performed by Camille Turner – visits a church in the Age of Silence, circa 2021, to perform a ritual connecting with ancestors of the past. An ancestor – performed by Emilie Jabouin – emerges from the sea and stands on the coast, dedicating a song and dance of resistance and victory. Nave situates the viewer within the context of memory embodied by the ocean. Turner was the recipient of the 2022 Artist Prize by the Toronto Biennial of Art.
