Learning Together in a Good Way: Ethical Relationality and Indigenous Storywork
DATE: May 23, 2023
TIME: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
LOCATION: Zoom
In this webinar Dr. Shannon Leddy will guide participants through the process of phenomenological art inquiry, in which a dialogic approach to spending time with the work of Indigenous artists can reveal to viewers the ways in which their understandings of Indigenous peoples have been informed. In many cases, these ideas are the result of colonial logics, misrepresentation, and erasure. We will then explore the notion of what it means to live in ethical relationships with one another, and the impact that this element of Indigenous axiology can have on the ways we interact both as humans, and with the world around us.
