A Salish Reckoning: Reclaiming Design and Place

Please join Squamish nation member Salia Joseph from Host Consulting Inc. in a dialogue about Salish design and its links to sovereignty, identity and place. Come get into the specifics about how and why Salish design has been subordinated, the effects that this process has had, and most importantly, come celebrate the renaissance era of the Salish reckoning.

This talk is being presented by the Emily Carr University of Art and Design Library + Archives in collaboration with the ECU Aboriginal Gathering Place. It is open to Emily Carr University students, staff and faculty.

It will be taking place in the Aboriginal Gathering Place. Refreshments will be provided.
