Visual Culture Colloquium with Kendra Greendeer

Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at 4:45pm to 6:45pm

Goldwin Smith Hall G22, G22 232 Feeney Way

Enacting Land Memory for Indigenous Feminist Futures.

To reclaim Native lands and assert Indigenous femininity, contemporary
Indigenous women artists are invoking Rematriation. This woman-led
movement of restoring pre-settler-colonial land ethics foregrounds the
signicance of the feminine within a process of return that allows for every
aspect of Indigenous culture to be restored to pre-settler colonial practices.
The land-based multimedia artist Meagan Musseau (L’nu from
Elmastukwek, Ktaqmkuk territory) reincorporates pre-settler artistic
practices with accessible materials to preserve cultural teachings for the
future. This talk explores her work of Rematriation alongside that of other
contemporary Native women artists whose art enacts Indigenous
placemaking in ways that restructure settler-colonial spaces.

Kendra Greendeer, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and descendant of
the Red Cli and Fond du Lac Bands of Lake Superior Ojibwe, is a Ph.D.
Candidate in Art History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the
Paul Mellon Guest Predoctoral Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in
the Visual Arts. Greendeer received her BFA and MA in museum studies,
and she uses her experience in the museum to explore and educate about
the need for reconnecting Indigenous communities to their cultural
heritage and Indigenizing museum practices.
