Contravene

I’thandi Munro

Victoria Park. Performances at 7pm and 11pm.

To go against, to oppose, to find a new path, to make your own way. This project is about resistance. Using movements restricted by metal, this captures the strength and resilience you need to get through certain pathways bound by barriers that you must physically move yourself.

I’thandi Munro is a mixed Afro-Euro L’nu woman living in K’jipuktuk, Miꞌkmaꞌki, the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. Munro is a professional performance and visual artist. In 2020, she completed her BFA earning a double major in Photography + Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing from NSCAD University. As a racialized person living in a postcolonial environment, Munro uses the representation of line and of lineage as underlying concepts in her fine art, craft, and dance. Often merging different mediums into finished pieces there is always a sense of multiplicity within her work, melding notions of the digital within her craft. Leaving space for her pieces to naturally evolve through reaction and discussion, Munro creates an ever-changing body of work that can be explored and realized in different ways.
