BIPOC hub for political and aesthetic study and strategy
Created by Balbir K. Singh, PhD as part of her Canada Research Chair in Art and Racial Justice, the Dark Opacities Lab operates in three dimensions: Dark Study/Studio, a dual-purpose community reading room and informal zine-making space; Dark Continuum, an interactive digital hub; and Dark Display, small-scale exhibitions by minoritarian artists, theorists and practitioners.
Twice a year, the lab hosts research clusters and produces zines based on themes of study.
