I am an Associate Professor of Art History and holder of the Ruth and Mark Phillips professorship at Carleton University. I situate myself in the fields of critical global art history and Chinese art history. My current research centers on questions concerning the heterogeneity of temporal assumptions (historiographical models, their respective concepts of time and temporality, and temporal regimes) that constitute and frame our world, its art, subjects, and knowledges. With the aim to shed light on the transcultural historicity of contemporary art, its multiple structures and experiences of time from a specific locale, my current book project focuses on art historiographic works by contemporary Chinese artists.
I wrote the book  Transkulturelle Reflexionsräume einer Genealogie des Performativen: Bedingungen und Artikulationen kultureller Differenz in der chinesische  Installationkunst  (2013) and I co-edited the volumes  Negotiating Difference: Chinese Contemporary Art in the Global Context (2012) and  Situating Global Art. Topologies – Temporalities - Trajectories (2018). I am  founding member of TrACE,  and serve on the editorial boards of Art Journal and 21: Inquiries.

I am an art historian and curator living and working on unceded Algonquin Anishinabek territory. A doctoral student at Carleton University, I am a junior member and PhD researcher for the Worlding Public Cultures project and work as an image research associate for the Art Canada Institute. My research considers how art oriented around archives, counter-archives, and the anarchive can transform the way knowledge is understood, and expand the capacity with which we can interact with museum spaces. While my frame of knowledge is situated within the context of Canada – both in subject research and through lived experience – I am motivated by the desire to connect Canadian Art Histories within a global context through relational frameworks of interpretation and collaboration. My primary scope of theoretical interest includes activism and social justice, memory studies, worlding, and potential histories.

Doctoral research assistant for WPC’s Ottawa team

I am an Egyptian-Canadian researcher, artist and curator, currently completing my doctoral research at Carleton University. My primary interest lies in grassroots histories of resistance against colonial projects of collection and exhibition. My doctoral thesis, co-supervised by Drs. Ming Tiampo and Monica Patterson, examines the ways in which Egyptian publics have fought to retain and repatriate Pharaonic cultural patrimony, and how these struggles have shaped conceptions of iconic artefacts in Western media and museums. I also examine these themes in my creative practice, which focuses on disrupting archives of violence using new media practices in both institutional and community spaces.

Victoria Nolte is an art historian and doctoral candidate in the interdisciplinary Cultural Mediations program at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Her doctoral work focuses on the visual cultures of Asian diasporas in North America, examining issues of site-responsiveness, historical representation, and practices of world-making in installation and media works by Asian Canadian artists. Broadly, her research focuses on two streams: the collection, exhibition, and study of Asian art in Canada, and on rethinking global immigration as an integral part of the story and construction of Canadian art. Along her role as a PhD researcher for WPC, she is currently Managing Editor for the journal Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (Brill) and a Contract Instructor in the School for Studies in Art and Culture at Carleton University.
