#1
03.10
‘Re-enactments: remembrance, territories and potential narratives’
From 5pm to 6:30pm. Online
Aboriginal artefacts can evince a tradition, heritage, or inner and imagined physical territory. They are bearers of multiple stories and, as such, their status and value can be subject to change, depending on the context in which they are represented. This is not without consequence for aboriginal identities and cultures. If objects can be considered as sites of memory and knowledge, how does the context of their presentation effect the way in which they speak to audiences, and which stories are told?
This conference, which runs in parallel with Maria Hupfield’s exhibition Manidoowegin and is an opportunity to hear different speakers talk about their practices and present their research projects:
Giving new life to objects - Elisabeth Kaine
Elisabeth Kaine of the Wendate nation is an associate professor and co-holder of the UNESCO Chair entitled The Transmission of First Peoples’ Culture to Foster Well-being and Empowerment. Founder of the Boite rouge VIF and Design et Culture matérielle, she has also curated exhibitions, such as Indigenous Voices of Today: Knowledge, Trauma, Resilience at the McCord Museum.
The spirit of objects as a means of decolonization and autochtonization of exhibition spaces - Marie-Charlotte Franco
Marie-Charlotte Franco is a non-native museologist, lecturer and postdoctoral fellow at the Centre interuniversitaire d’études et de recherches autochtones (CIÈRA).
Sacred objects, living matter - Eruoma Awashish
Eruoma Awashish of the Atikamekw Nehirowisiwautour nation is a multidisciplinary artist, researcher, curator and member of the Dimes Project collective, mentored by Maria Hupfield. The decolonization of the sacred is central to her practice.

Diagonale would like to underline that we are located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
