OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This paper will consider the means by which 2Ro Media’s “For this Land” presents viewers with a series of mixed performance and multimedia installations that highlight the interconnection between Indigenous territories, life-giving traditions, and Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) artistry. The series offers meditations on vital questions concerning land, memory, cultural traditions, return, and instantiation, and does so by combining poetry, video and sound. Consequently, this paper will examine the forms through which 2Ro Media (Janet Rogers and Jackson 2bears) have sought to engage with the “spatiality of storytelling” in specific sites. In doing so, it will also focus on their bid to acknowledge and animate collectively shared and ongoing Haudenosaunee systems of knowing in order to establish what the late Vine Deloria Jr. defined as ‘hereness’ within Indigenous lifeways and practices.
Wine reception in the following weeks 1, 3 and 5; Sandwiches for week 7
