SUMMARY:When I Dare To Be Powerful: In conversation with Tracey Lindberg
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Tracey Lindberg in conversation with Valentina de Riso\, as part of the When I Dare to be Powerful conference at Bonington Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValentina de Riso will be in conversation with Dr Tracey Lindberg on Indigenous voice in literature. This online talk will explore writing as a form of activist engagement\, with fiction a site of resistance and a tool for empowerment. Tracey Lindberg will discuss voice as represented and mobilised in her novel Birdie\, and the personal and collective implications of storytelling at the intersection with activist and academic work.  \n\n\n\nThis event is part of online talks series leading to the in-person conference When I Dare to be Powerful\, on 21 June at Bonington Gallery. The international conference will bring filmmakers\, artists\, writers and activists\, together with conceptual thinkers and cultural theorists in order to answer pressing questions relating to voice as an agent of change. \n\n\n\nImage credit: David Weatherall \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nProfessor Tracey Lindberg hails from the As’in’î’wa’chî Ni’yaw (Kelly Lake Cree Nation) and grew up in small cities and towns in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan (including\, Melfort\, Nipawin and Prince Albert). She studied law at the University of Saskatchewan\, Harvard Law School (LLM) and the University of Ottawa (PhD). Her academic work Critical Indigenous Legal Theory won the University of Ottawa’s Gold Medal and the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Award. \n\n\n\nTracey Lindberg’s work with Elder Maria Campbell and Priscilla Campeau “Indigenous Women and Sexual Assault in Canada” (in Elizabeth Sheehy ed. Ch. 5\, Indigenous Women and Sexual Assault in Canada (Ottawa: U Ottawa\, 2017) represents the legal thinking and pedagogy in which she is most interested and engaged and includes engagement with Cree laws\, critical Indigenous legal theory and storytelling. Her best-selling novel Birdie is widely read and used to teach courses worldwide. \n\n\n\nProfessor Lindberg studies\, reads and practices Niyaw / Cree law\, and works in the areas of Indigenous law and literature\, Indigenous legal theory\, the rejuvenation and application of Indigenous laws and Indigenous women’s societies\, laws and legal orders.  \n\n\n\nHer next work will be on bookshelves this fall. It is called: sâkihitowin: the Cree word for love and features 16 intertwined stories about the spectrum of love tied to 20 pieces of art by Cree painter George Littlechild. \n\n\n\nTracey currently teaches at the University of Victoria faculty of law. \n\n\n\nValentina de Riso (she/her) is a Vice Chancellor’s Studentship PhD student at Nottingham Trent University. Her research focuses on contemporary writings by First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit women who challenge and re-think models for testimony and Indigenous-settler relations in Canada. Her thesis examines motifs of mutual understanding\, healing\, forgiveness\, and empathy which\, when employed in national discourses of reconciliation risk naturalising\, pathologising\, or sensationalising Indigenous experiences of violence and trauma. They are re-imagined in Indigenous women’s productions. Valentina published her article ‘Spin the Tale Inside: Opacity and Respectful Distance in Lee Maracle’s Celia’s Song’ in the academic journal Studies in Canadian Literature (SCL) in 2021.
