Stephanie Dinkins is renowned for her critical investigations into artificial intelligence and machine learning systems as they intersect race, gender, and our future histories. By using her training in documentary practices as a photo-based artist, she creates inclusive platforms for dialogue and action toward building technological ecosystems and datasets that are equitable, accessible, and transparent. Her immersive installations, community-based workshops, and public talks seek audience participation and engagement in a way that pushes the boundaries of new media and socially engaged art practices in the 21st century. Stephanie Dinkins: On Love & Data brings together nationally renowned curators and theorists who draw from methodologies of art criticism, social practice, new media theory, and critical studies to offer an in-depth analysis of key installations in Dinkins’s survey exhibition. The book also includes an important essay by Stephanie Dinkins on her concept of Afro-now-ism in which she expands on her theoretical framework and positionality as a Black new media artist in the 21st century. Dinkins’s artistic research transcends the boundaries of visual art to challenge and expose the bias and inequities of caste, race, and gender, which are encoded within digital systems on which governance, healthcare, and security infrastructures in the United States are based.

“Blackness has been systematically ‘disappeared’ from the Canadian nation. . . . I explore various mechanisms through which this disappearance has been achieved, ranging from historical omissions to social exclusion as well as literally burying evidence of Canada’s Black past.” — Camille Turner Camille Turner: Hometown Queen offers the first in-depth retrospective of the artist’s nearly 30-year career. Born in Jamaica and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Turner has developed a formidable body of work in performance, installation, photography, video, and sculpture. Her practice powerfully addresses racial and social politics, offering a critical analysis of the enduring systems of injustice in Canada and abroad and confronting histories marked by erasure, deliberate burying, and systemic silencing while actively forging a hopeful path forward. Turner’s art creates spaces of contemplation and imaginative possibility, inviting reflection on what might emerge — for herself, for her father and family, and for generations still to come. This handsome volume, accompanying a major touring exhibition organized by the Art Gallery of Hamilton with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and Stamps Gallery, University of Michigan, contains over 70 images of Turner’s work and essays by artists and curators. The works featured in Camille Turner: Hometown Queen range from foundational works such as the eponymous Hometown Queen and Miss Canadiana to recent large-scale video installations, including Worthy, a new immersive multi-media installation that explores her father’s childhood experience of growing up on the grounds of one of Jamaica’s most profitable businesses, which emerged from what was formerly a slave plantation, and illuminates the enduring impact of slavery across geographies and generations. Camille Turner is an artist and scholar whose practice spans a variety of media, including social practice, performance, video, photography, installation, and sculpture. Grounded in Afrofuturism and historical research, she reimagines colonial archives and confronts the entanglement of what is now Canada in the transatlantic trade of Africans, envisioning liberated futures shaped by Black knowledge, memory, and imagination. Born in Jamaica in 1960, Turner was raised in Hamilton and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She was the Provost’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Toronto and completed a PhD at York University with a research-creation project closely connected to her artistic practice. In 2025, Turner was featured in the São Paulo Biennial and was Artist-in-Residence at the Fine Arts Center of University of Massachusetts Amherst in partnership with Slavery North. Turner has held solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally and is the recipient of the 2025 Exhibition of the Year award for Otherworld (Art Museum at the University of Toronto) from Galeries Ontario / Ontario Galleries (GOG) and the 2022 Artist Prize from the Toronto Biennial of Art. Her work is held in major public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Art Museum at the University of Toronto, Canada Council Art Bank, Royal Bank of Canada, Museum London, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Wedge Collection, and The Rooms. She is represented in Canada by Central Art Garage.
