AA Bronson: Life and Work — on until November 15 at the University of Toronto Art Centre — considers the revolutionary power of queer politics, self-representation, and artistic practices of healing. Curated by the director of the Daniels Faculty's Master of Visual Studies program in Curatorial Studies, Barbara Fischer, it features the work of AA Bronson, an artist, healer, and surviving member of General Idea.

The show centres on a series of life-size, diamond-dusted self-portraits of Bronson as artistshaman alongside experiments with self-portraiture from the late 1960s to the present. Support for this exhibition is provided by the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto, and Manulife Financial.

From October 28th to November 1st, AA Bronson will be participating in a series of events in conjunction with the exhibition.
