Richard William Hill in Canadian Art

Emily Carr University’s newest Canada Research Chair, Richard Hill has two new articles featured in Canadian Art.

Hill’s  primary project  is to research and produce a narrative on the history of contemporary Indigenous Art in the 1980s and 1990s, a period roughly coinciding with the emergence of art-school trained Indigenous artists.

His research will focus on the efforts of these Indigenous artists to create space for their own discourse and to access institutions of the art world that had previously excluded them.
