Each semester, we showcase a Carleton academic whose research interests complements one of our current exhibitions, and invite them to give a talk on their research.

Inspired by the way Raymond Boisjoly mines sources such as YouTube, retrieving pivotal popular cultural moments to index key cultural and political intervals and explore representations of Indigeneity in Raymond Boisjoly: Interlocutions, Miranda Brady will speak on the ways in which Indigenous media artists challenge cultural forms to denaturalize the destructive behaviours of settler society. Looking to examples from artists showcasing their works at the imagineNative (iN) Film and Media Arts Festival over the last several years, Brady points to the self-reflexive and creative combination of various media, genres, and traditional story-telling practices which intervene in historical omissions and ontologies that delegitimize Indigenous ways of knowing.

Bring your lunch, the gallery will provide coffee and tea, and we’ll all learn something new!

Miranda J. Brady is an Associate Professor in the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University and is the author and co-author of numerous articles on Indigenous identity and cultural institutions. Indigenous Interventions, her co-authored book with John Medicine Horse Kelly, is under contract with UBC Press.
