SUMMARY:Art Song Lab Digital Poetry Reading
DESCRIPTION:July 7th\, join Art Song Lab 2020 Guest Poet Aislinn Hunter and the 2020 ASL poets for an evening of poetry readings online through Massy Books! \nWith readings by:\nBill Evans\nCarrie Jenkins\nAngela Rebrec\nAnne de Nada\nTawahum Bige\nKim Trainor\nDawna Silver \nArt Song Lab (ASL) is a collaborative institute facilitating creative interaction between writers\, composers\, and performers from around the world to advance the genre of contemporary art song. Offering a 6-month collaborative opportunity which culminates in a week-long intensive program\, ASL sees its participating artists converge in Vancouver each summer for an annual public performance premiering new works. \nASL enables composers and writers who are eager to broaden their creative experiences to engage with other disciplines and artistic traditions. Our structure is designed to stimulate participants’ individual crafts while cultivating conversations among partners and the public. As writers\, composers\, performers and listeners connect\, they absorb each others’ visceral materials into diversely creative processes. The resulting works are direct expressions of contemporary experience. Since its conception in 2011\, ASL has connected 74 writers with 78 composers\, presenting world premiers of 95 new art songs. \nFind out more at artsonglab.com \nZoom info:\nWebinar ID\n810 1944 3920\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81019443920?pwd=WjZKRTZCSnR0Rk1vOEhXamxYK2drZz09 \nThis event is being broadcast from the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations.

SUMMARY:Online Book Launch: All Flowers Bloom by Kawika Guillermo
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special online book launch in celebration of Kawika Guillermo’s “All Flowers Bloom” with a reading and discussion moderated by Doretta Lau. This free event will be hosted online via Zoom. \n“A defiant and tender call for the power of love\, across a thousand lifetimes and lands. Guillermo’s imagination is breath-taking\, and he shows the power of the written word as at once the most high-fidelity and stylized of mediums.”\n—Ken Liu\, author of The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories and The Grace of Kings \n“Kawika Guillermo has achieved an ambitious feat. All Flowers Bloom is a lover’s discourse on desire\, its multiple masks and power to make lovers and strangers\, and traitors and rescuers out of us.”\n—R. Zamora Linmark\, author of Rolling the R’s and Leche\n——–\nKawika Guillermo is the author of Stamped: an anti-travel novel\, and the non-fiction books Transitive Cultures and Open World Empire. \nDoretta Lau is the author of the short story collection How Does a Single Blade of Grass Thank the Sun?\n——-\nIn a cruise ship stateroom\, a soul awakens in the afterlife\, still dressed in the Roman servant garbs of his previous life. \nHe can’t remember much\, but a silent woman stands out in his memory: his first and only love. \nUnable to cope with an eternity without her\, he leaps from the ship and back into the depths of the life stream. \nFive hundred years later\, he awakens again in the same stateroom\, alone and fueled with new memories of her. \nIn his past lives she was a male insurgent\, an elderly wise woman\, an unruly servant. \nFor a millennia the pair are tethered together\, clashing in love and fear\, betraying each other in times of war and famine. \nBefore memory drives him mad\, he vows to rescue her from the stream — even if it takes a thousand lifetimes more.\n———————————— \nZoom info:\nTime: Jul 9\, 2020 06:00 PM Vancouver\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/94075132533\nMeeting ID: 940 7513 2533 \nThis event is taking place on the unceded territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish and Tseil-Waututh Nations.

SUMMARY:Online Book Launch: Storying Violence with Gina Starblanket & Dallas Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Join Gina Starblanket and Dallas Hunt for the launch of “Storying Violence: Unravelling Colonial Narratives in the Stanley Trial”. In August of 2016\, Cree youth Colten Boushie was shot dead by Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley. Using colonial and socio-political narratives that underlie white rural settler life\, Starblanket and Hunt position the death of Colten Boushie and trial of Gerald Stanley in relation to Indigenous histories and experiences in Saskatchewan. They point to the Stanley case as just one instance of Indigenous peoples’ presence being seen as a threat to settler colonial security\, then used to sanction the exclusion\, violent treatment\, and death of Indigenous peoples and communities. \nThis event will take place online via Zoom. Books are available for purchase through Iron Dog Books and Massy Books. \n———\nGina Starblanket is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Calgary. Gina is Cree/Saulteaux and a member of the Star Blanket Cree Nation in Treaty 4 territory. She has critical work in the American Indian Culture and Research Journal and the Canadian Journal of Political Science\, and is the co-editor of the 5th edition of Visions of the Heart: Issues Involving Indigenous Peoples in Canada (2019) Her work is centered in Indigenous politics and Canadian politics\, and takes up issues surrounding treaty implementation\, gender\, feminism\, decolonization\, Indigenous resurgence\, and relationality. \nDallas Hunt is Assistant Professor in the Department of English Language and Literatures at the University of British Columbia.
