Spotlight
Research in action: Aunt Harriet
Research contributed by BLCK faculty, Dr. Deirdre McCorkindale and Dr. Jade Ferguson, provided inspiration and content for the City of Guelph’s artist-in-residence, HAUI’s film installation, Aunt Harriet.
Aunt Harriet is a meditative moving portrait exploring introspection, healing, and aging. Set against the backdrop of rural Ontario, it deepens the memory of Black lives—bridging past and present, history and myth.
