Join us for a series of artist talks, panel conversations and keynote presentations throughout the months of May and June.

The Indigenous Art Intensive features a series of world-renowned speakers, including a panel discussion, facilitated by Stacey Koosel, with participating artists Kablusiak Carpenter and Troy Sebastian.

This discussion explores themes of sculpture, literature, installation, community, sexuality, and humour.

Drop by the University Theatre on Wednesday, May 25 between 2-3:30 pm.

About the Artists
Kablusiak Carpenter’s soapstone sculptures challenge traditional notions of Inuit art with campy humour and irreverence.

Troy Sebastian is a Ktunaxa writer known for his razor-sharp wit and storytelling prowess.

An artist and a writer who are both known for their subversive humour and ways of subverting the colonial gaze.
