SUMMARY:Surfacing
DESCRIPTION:So often in life we go through crests and valleys precipitated by many different things. Sometimes our artistic endeavors can be a sign to see these changes coming or going and often are our life preservers. The clarity we strive for again and again can be like surfacing from a deep slumber. \nSo too is the plane of our canvas or paper an ever-evolving experiment in creating a meaningful surface. One that gives the maker deep satisfaction and challenges the creators expectations. This pursuit itself is the companion that rarely fails us in times of joy or changes. So here we have three friends\, companions along the way who\, while individually are striving to comprehend their paths\, have enjoyed and benefitted from the company of each other’s humour and wisdom. \nFeaturing the work of Susan Wintrop\, Philippa Tattersall\, and Nora Layard

SUMMARY:Shalene Wuttune Jobin- What does it mean to uphold indigenous economic relationship?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an informative conversation with Dr. Shalene Wuttunee Jobin who shares the intersections of settler colonialism and economic exploitation in the region known today as Canada. We’ll learn how economic advancement is intertwined with the exploitation of indigenous communities and what indigenous worldviews can teach us about miyo‐pimâtisiwin ᒥᔪ ᐱᒫᑎᓯᐃᐧᐣ (the good life) and harmonious econimic relationships. Dr. Jobin draws inspiration from the profound knowledge systems of the nehiyawak ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐊᐧᐠ (Cree) people and will underscore two pivotal arguments: the foundational relationship between settlers and Indigenous populations was one of economic exploitation\, and that Indigenous economic ties are constitutive and deeply rooted in connections to Land\, Water\, and the intricate web of life they sustain. In this talk Dr. Jobin offers insight that enable us to reimagine how we can aspire to the good life with all our relations.
