Indigenous filmmakers Jules Arita Koostachin and Doreen Manuel are taking part in an online talk this Thursday (April 8).

The filmmakers will discuss the video presentation Response: Our Land Narrative, which is on view at North Vancouver's Polygon Gallery from April 7 - 17.

Ash Simpson, still from Brash Allen, 2020, single-channel video, sound.

"These works consider humanity in relation to lands and waters in various ways," reads the event info on the gallery website, "and highlight shifts that take place over time both within and around us. Our Land Narrative asks: how do we affect nature, from our positions of being situated or unsettled, and what is its impact upon us, from our experiences with displacement and return?"

Video works will be previewed online at 6:30 pm Pacific time, and the 90-minute talk will follow at 7:05 pm.
