20 Years of COSMOSQUAW: Screening and conversation with Samantha Nock and Salia Joseph
November 13, 2018
Artist Talk, Screening
About the Program
An evening with Sḵwx̱wú7mesh storyteller Salia Joseph and Cree/Métis poet Samantha Nock, honoured, contextualized and expanded on Cree/Saulteaux/Métis artist Lori Blondeau’s COSMOSQUAW (1998). Blondeau’s work offers a critical exploration of Indigenous women and beauty. Twenty years later, Joseph and Nock explore the same theme, what has changed, and what has stayed the same. The pair offered a reply to the performance that involved a live reading, music, and a screening of the original piece itself.Partner
