Indigenous Storytelling in Moving Images with Chanelle Lajoie

  • Thursday, April 15, 2021
  • 6:30pm – 8:00pm
  • Online with Zoom

Identity, place, and community: these are common themes woven into Indigenous narratives. Let’s explore the ways in which Indigenous storytellers strengthen their voices, relate their experiences and recount yesteryear as a means to shape tomorrow within these topics on-screen, as they stand alone and intersect.

Reading: Marjorie Beaucage, “Aboriginal Voices: Entitlement through Storytelling” in Transference, Tradition, Technology.
