Vancouver-based artist Krista Belle Stewart presents a screening of new video works created during her recent production residencies at the Western Front and the Contemporary Art Gallery, in partnership with the Nisga’a Museum. Her new works investigate the storytelling practices of First Nations women in Douglas Lake and Nisga’a Lisims. Dory Nason, UBC First Nations Assistant Professor will respond to Stewart’s new works. Nason’s areas of research include contemporary Indigenous Feminisms and related Native women’s intellectual history and literature. She is currently at work on her book manuscript, Red Feminist Voices: Native Women’s Activist Literature. She was also a featured contributor to the groundbreaking anthology, The Winter We Danced: Voices from the Past, the Future, and the Idle No More Movement (ARP Books), which was released to great acclaim in March 2014.
