MFA Thesis Two | Paige Smith: I Saw You in the Archive

I Saw You in the Archive is a multidisciplinary exhibition that reveals the history of eugenic practices in Kitchener-Waterloo in the mid 20th century, and questions how the framing of history impacts our personal understandings of each other’s identities. Mixing visuals associated with institutional archives and rubber factories, the artworks examine the former Kaufman Rubber Company and its owner A. R. Kaufman’s attempts to contain certain types of people, particularly those deemed ‘feeble-minded’

The Story of Tiles and Ropes In-Between / داستان سفال‌ها و طناب‌ها moves through the fragile space of migration, where memory, material, and motion intertwine. It is about swinging: swinging between two roofs, swinging between two landscapes. It is about the fragility of a roof, the fragility of a memory. Suspended between Northern Iran and Canada, the work reflects gestures to find belonging—the stitching, the carrying, the quiet resistance of the body as it navigates cultural displacement.
