The Game

I did my PhD research-creation thesis Unsettling Settlers’ Colonial Privilege Through Performance: Movement, Sound, Play, Participation, Laughter in Cultural Studies at Queens University.

 

Developed over a two year period it was a live, day-long event for communities to come together to play, laugh, think, respond with their bodies as well as their minds to the ongoing revelations of past and present attempts at appropriation, assimilation and annihilation by Canadian governments, churches, and settlers, share food together, and discuss what they learned and unlearned playing the game and what they could actively do in their communities and themselves to move towards decolonization.

 

As a Horizon postdoctoral fellow at Concordia I have new on-line iteration in development working with potatoCakes_digital.
