This lecture will take place online only due to the rise in COVID cases.
Patchwork quilts can be a flexible membrane and extension of the body through which women’s inherited farm stories and harmful settler colonial narratives are revealed, unravelled and re-storied. In this talk, Bond will share her graduate “research as creation” projects, which explore unsettling her family archive to sew a more conscious legacy for the future generation. She will discuss makers, farmers and parents, including 2SLGBTQQIA community members whose slow ecological fibre practices further Land Back, responsible stewardship and sustainable agriculture initiatives.
Live ASL interpretation will be provided. Auto-captions are available if you watch the lecture with Zoom.
If you are unable to watch the lecture live it will remain posted on our Facebook page. It will also be recorded, closed captioning added and then posted here by the end of January.
Free! Watch online with Zoom or Facebook Live.

Lindsey Bond (she/her) is an intermedia artist-mother and graduate researcher born in amiskwacîwâskahikan (Beaver Hills House) or Edmonton, where the North Saskatchewan River flows across Treaty Six Territory. Using slow fibre and intermedia processes, she intervenes in her white-settler family archive to think through her responsibility as woman and mother to remember and sew a relationship with the land.
