Kachely Peters
DMG Educator-in-Residence
The DMG's Educator-in-Residence program launched in 2021/2022, when Scarborough-based artist Kachely Peters was invited to develop programming in response to the exhibitions From Boys to Men: The Road to Healing and Three-Thirty during a four-month residency.
Peters collaborated with From Boys to Men artist and community leader Anthony Gebrehiwot, to create the online program Meditations on Masculinities and Love. Looking to bell hooks' text The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, Peters and Gebrehiwot created the framework for conversations to be facilitated by Gebrehiwot, providing the space for racialized folks who identify as men and non-binary to explore topics surrounding masculinities.
Peters also developed a monthly Book Club online program inspired by Three-Thirty, inviting audiences to delve into a text, using it as a starting point to address themes present in the exhibition.
