The Centre for Transnational Cultural Analysis (CTCA) is pleased to announce the visit of Dr. Jolene Rickard, celebrated and innovative art historian, artist, and professor. Dr. Rickard’s artistic and academic work explores issues of indigeneity within a global context. Her public lecture at the National Gallery of Canada and her workshop at Carleton University will focus on the intersection between indigeneity, migration, and diaspora.
