104 College Drive
In her talk, Sheldon Jackson Museum artist-in-residence Denali Taniilux̂ McGlashan (Unangax) will share reflections on her journey as an indigenous woman in heavily contrasting environments and the way her creativity has acted as a tool to speak to her future and past selves, digest the forces of the outer world and self-actualize her own. She will be considering the personal effect of growing up in rural subsistence communities, the disparity between this lifestyle and her urban adulthood and how these seemingly disconnected realms are, in actuality, inseparable. She will consider the implications of researching through lifestyle in juxtaposition to western expressions of academia. This will include examinations of connections between literal consumption (food/subsistence), conceptual consumption (ideas/spirituality) and the ways these set the pace and angle of our collective orientation in regards to time, identity and resources. She will reflect on what it means to witness, in the context of monochronic/linear time & polychronic/non-linear time, articulating the ways in which these different perceptions of directionality have molded her own approach to life, creativity and connection.”
