SLĀV: the story lumbers on

The jazz festival is standing by SLĀV despite protest. Medium has a piece describing the scene.

Discussion with an academic of African ancestry on Radio-Canada.

Also, thoughts on CBC by a black artist and historian initially consulted about the project who feels it missed an opportunity to make a point and educate the public and by a black op-ed writer at Le Devoir.

Le Devoir’s critic liked it. But then Robert Lepage does know how to mount a show.

Update: thoughts from the Globe’s Everett-Green although is he correct in saying Lepage and Bonifassi had “a promotional and media apparatus that naturally made it more likely that their view of their show would be the one that the public heard about”? I’ve only seen and heard pieces criticizing the cultural obtuseness of the work. I haven’t seen anyone asking Lepage and Bonifassi why they thought their concept was a viable one.
