DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a two-day event with Professor Dylan Robinson (UCB), xwélmexw (Stó:lō/Skwah) scholar, artist, curator and writer. 



Screening of Amuksism. You really have to listen. (2025) by Robinson and Neven Lochhead with Nick Dangeli.



Followed by a Q&A with Professor Robinson



This film documents a process of redress undertaken by Dr. Dylan Robinson (Stó:lō/Skwah) and members of the Nisga’a Nation (Keane Tait, Michael Dangeli) with the Canadian Opera Company for their 2017 production of Louis Riel, which contains the unauthorized use of a Nisga’a Limx ooy song belonging to the House of Sgat’iin. This documentary explores what is at stake when when settler artists misappropriate and misuse indigenous song and ceremony and how to broach a move towards reparations. 



The screening is free and the film has closed captions.
