Furtive Practice

This week we are joined by Anna Jane McIntyre and Angélique Willkie to discuss their playful, gentle, and assertive approaches to activism and art-making.

Anna Jane McIntyre is a British-Trinidadian-now-Canadian multidisciplinary artist who explores Architectures of Being & Breathing through non-compartmentalised-think-light-movement-heavy art forms like printmaking, kinetic sculpture, installation, gifs, costume making, to-do lists, storytelling, story-setting, bushcraft, inaccurate portraiture & dodgy $5 entrepreneurial street sale experiments.

Anna’s draft composition for the "We" mural at the Athletics and Recreation building, Queen's University, can be viewed on her website.

A dance artivist, Angélique Willkie grounds herself in corporeal and decolonial dramaturgies. That work moves her through the structures of Concordia University.

More information about Angélique’s solo performance, Confession Publique, can be found online, as can further details about her role as chair of the President's Task Force on Anti-Black Racism at Concordia.

Songs selected by Angelique and Anna Jane have been added to the Black List, a playlist that compiles songs of sorrow and joy selected by guests on the Black Studies podcast. You can also find more bonus content inspired by our conversations with multidisciplinary artists, activists, curators, musicians, and scholars on Instagram (@blackstudiespodcast) and Linktree (https://linktr.ee/blackstudiespodcast)
