Richard Fung, professor emeritus at the Ontario College of Art and Design and influential filmmaker and leading figure in New Queer Cinema, will speak about the making of his latest work, The Enigma of Harold Sonny Laddoo. Harold Sonny Ladoo was a South Asian Trinidadian author, and as a member of the Toronto art scene in the 1960s, before his murder in 1973. Richard Fung reclaims the biography of Ladoo from erasure, and in doing so, reflects on the impossibility and failures of this very pursuit. He will reflect on Queer and Asian-Caribbean aesthetics more generally.
