On Communities and Nations

April 5 to June 9, 2012 (in the Small Gallery)

Ideas of community and nation have a complicated set of relationships. For some, communities are nations. For historian Benedict Anderson, nations are synthetic constructions that we come to imagine as communities through various systems of exchange that include: public meeting places and the reproduction of images and narratives. On Communities and Nations examines Anderson’s concept of imagined communities in relationship to emergence of First Nations printmaking practices in the late twentieth century.
