Kim Ondaatje is a Canadian artist, filmmaker, cultural figure, and environmental advocate. Her legacy in the Canadian art world has been recognized in exhibitions at the AGO and Agnes, but her life and career have deep roots in both Kingston (she holds an MA in English from Queen’s) and the surrounding area (having lived and cared for Blueroof Farm in Bellrock and now living in Sharbot Lake). This program represents the first full retrospective of her filmmaking practice, which shares thematic and formal elements with her visual art practice. From domestic interiors to industrial landscapes and land based practices, her engaging work considers humans in relation to their lived environment. This special event features a number of her short films (recently preserved and digitized in collaboration with the Vulnerable Media Lab at Queen’s University), followed by a discussion with Ondaatje’s friend and local writer Helen Humphreys, and her filmmaker grandson Khyber Jones.
