“A collection of the author’s previous writings in the format of interviews, essays, reviews etc. A very approachable tone that invites readers to not only engage with the writer, but also the moment or experience that Yaniya Lee was writing about at the time. Repositions Black artists and especially Black women artists as a foundation to Canadian arts.”
by Jon Key
“A beautiful montage of Black media and archives that the author organized into a chronological timeline. An informative read/experience of collected images, history and figures.”
by Shimrit Lee
“The history of museums, the process of colonization within these institutions, and hard-hitting questions about the context museums exist in today.”
by Formal Settings
“A matter-of-fact and easy read, with references at the back. A dive into details about bookmaking many look past. When heading into this field, this gives helpful guidance in the curation of a piece.”
