Summary:

"Collects a sample of documents, originally published between 1987 and 1993, related to the career of Black Canadian artist Buseje Bailey, documents which Yaniya Lee found in the Artexte documentary collection during her research residency. These are reprinted alongside a new interview with Buseje Bailey and a letter by artist Sandra Brewster. This is also a record of Yaniya Lee's experimental approach to archival research which suggests a model for ways of study, curate, and write about Black Canadian art." --Publisher's website.
