Camille Turner

Camille Turner is a Canadian artist and scholar whose work blends Afrofuturism with historical research to confront Canada’s entanglement in the transatlantic slave trade. She developed an “Afronautic” methodology to reimagine colonial archives from the perspective of liberated futures, most recently realized in Otherworld at the University of Toronto Art Museum. A graduate of OCAD with a PhD from York University, Turner has held a Provost’s postdoctoral fellowship at U of T and received the 2022 Toronto Biennial of Art Prize. Her works are in major public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
