Colonialism and Everyday Life in Quebec: Images as Stories

Join us at our 22-23 Lecture on March 29, 2023 featuring Dalie Giroux from the University of Ottawa.

How can we acknowledge and tackle the effectivity of colonialism in daily life? Colonialism is the situation we are immersed in—its culture is the realm of the repeated, the un-noticed, the ingrained, the fleeting, the actual. Assembling images from family archives, rumors, vernacular art, media reels and literature, Dalie Giroux will explore the predicament of culture as colonial culture in Quebec.
The bottom line: a notion of mastery, a fantasy of power, a whole aesthetics of hierarchy.

Location: the Sanctuary of Carleton’s Dominion-Chalmers Centre at 7:00 p.m.
Reception to follow, with light refreshments, in Woodside Hall .
