Facebook EventCurator: Olivia Shortt
Guests: Olivia C. Davies; Marion Newman; Kim Senklip-HarveyThe intersectionality of collaboration, ethics, and Indigenous protocols in art-making.
What does it mean to ‘decolonize’ or ‘indigenize’ an artistic space? How do we create spaces that are safe? What is an intersectional approach to decolonization — how do we start from a place of openness to all? What can we learn from each other’s discipline’s approach to decolonization? Let’s talk about the artistic process. The language used in a space, land acknowledgement, who is in charge? Discussion of having medicine in the room (turning the fire alarm off), listening to indigenous voices and voices of colour. having an elder in the space. Sharing food, time for silence/rest/breaks. From hiring to rehearsals, what do we each value in the process to help make a space ‘safer’.Part of the Decolonization Series.

November 12, 2020Can Western art music ever be equitable in practice and in perception?
November 12 @ 7 pm EST
Zoom link
Facebook Event
Curator: Parmela Attariwala
Guests: Pat Carrabré, Ian Cusson, Lise Vaugeois, Dinuk WijeratneVarious aspects of coloniality—including postcolonialism and neocolonialism—play out in criticisms of, and support for, Western Art Music, as well as in recent calls to decolonize the institutions that sustain it. The “Re:Soundings” diversity report, commissioned by Orchestras Canada, highlighted multiple nodes at which contemporary encounters between Western art music and other musics have been problematic. How can we reconceptualize the parameters by which we currently define avant-gardeism in music, and in doing so, might we also begin to unshackle the art form from its Eurocentric priorities?
Part of the Decolonization Series.
