  • Descrição: This article offers an analysis of Protests and Pedagogy: Representation Meanings and Memories an exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Sir George Williams Affair. The article revisits the curating process through critical, decolonial and resistive approaches and allows a rare glimpse into the archival records related to the 1969 event, Canada’s most notorious student uprisings, when students took over the seventh-floor faculty lounge and ninth-floor computer centre to protest anti-Black racism in the classroom at Sir George Williams University. By revisiting these events fifty years later, the exhibition asked, What do these archival materials say to us today? The exhibition challenged existing cliched accounts of the affair through deliberate practices of subversion. In exchange, it highlighted lesser-known narratives, through images, sounds, newspaper accounts, official documents and oral testimonies that offer alternative curating methodologies that brings the archives to life.
