New ONLINE Art Talk February 4, 2022!
The Art of Reconciliation: a conversation on place, language, and the role of the artist featuring Dr. Suzanne M Steele 

Dr. Steele is an award-winning poet, installation artist, Canadian War Artist, librettist, and scholar. She is Métis (Gaudry and Fayant) with roots that extend back to the first families (French and Anishinaabe). Dr. Steele and composer Neil Weisensel recently received a SSHRC Award to establish a database of aesthetic translations of Indigenous languages, in connection to their ground-breaking musical production of Li Keur: Riel’s Heart of the North.
Dr. Steele joins Sarah Hodges-Kolisnyk in conversation on First Friday Art Talks on February 4 at 6:30pm (CST) to discuss the role of the artist in processes of truth and reconciliation, the importance of poetry in protecting vulnerable Indigenous languages, the role of women in artistic narratives, and more!
