You are invited to:

Realities of Race Week at UBC

Native Performance Artists Speak:
their work, their vision,
their relationship to contemporary culture
in Canada and the World.



Four performance/media/theatre artists have been asked to present their work
in a panel format and to engage in discussion with each other and with the
audience.  Each panelist will present a short video of selected work and
speak to their artistic process and the cultural context of their work.
There will be a facilitated discussion and question and answer with the
audience. A free lunch will follow.

The goals for this presentation are:
  € to provide a forum for native artists to speak about their work in an
academic    
  context
  € to raise awareness within and without the Native community of the
important 
  work of Native performance art
  € to explore the complexity of artistic voice in multi cultural contexts
  € to question assumptions about Nativeness in Canada
