Records of Protest is a display of archival material from the CCA Collection exploring how architects in the past engaged with crises of their time. Posters, fliers, periodicals, reports, and news clippings from watershed moments reveal peripheral positions and grassroots opposition in face of capitalism, colonialism, oppression, and war. The selected objects evidence how actors from the fields of design and construction have applied their skills to raise awareness of social injustices, used their influence as public intellectuals to critique abuse of authority and technology, or demonstrated their agency by withholding their labour and industry ties.
Curatorial research: Irene Chin, Auden Young Tura, Lisa Belabed, with Laura Aparicio Llorente and Megan Marin
Conservation: David Stevenson and Anne Gauthier
Design development: Sébastien Larivière and Anh Truong
