This program is the culmination of a term-long pedagogical effort to foster, connect, and consolidate interdisciplinary dialogues across the 5 courses at the NewONE, the program I coordinate at the University of Toronto’s New College. It is also part of a short-term mobile residency, based on the sustainable principles of sharing knowledge and resources, and the goal to foster interdisciplinary dialogues and new pedagogy across 4 institutions in Canada and in the US. Finally, the initiative is part of the FEMeeting SisterLabs series designed to support and lead to FEMeeting, a women and women-identified conference taking place on June 23-29 2024 at the University of Windsor.
Featuring:
Cecillia Vilca Ocharan — Peruvian transartist, feminist chola techno-witch, and language activist
Praba Pilar — diasporic Colombian interdisciplinary artist disrupting the overwhelmingly passive participation in the contemporary cult of the techno-logic
Nathalie Dubois — bioartist and plant science researcher based in Montreal, engaging in feminist acts of reconciliation with her non/human components
The three artists in residence spent two weeks in Toronto at the end of March, then moved to Troy (NY) to perform at the Sanctuary for Independent Media. The collaboration concluded with a mini conference at the University at Buffalo. During the event in Buffalo, I was able to host two of our graduate students from the SloLab.
