Sketching Inter-Species Relationships on the Land

Join Amina Lalor for a land-based art workshop along the O:se Kenhionhata:tie (Grand River).

Location: Meet by the Riverbluffs Park Boat Launch, 251 George St N, Cambridge, ON

Together we will reflect on our responsibility to the Indigenous lands that we occupy and build relationships with our other-than-human kin (plants, animals, fungi) through an observation and drawing activity. Please bring a mug/cup, water, long sleeves and pants (for mosquitos), mosquito repellent, and walking shoes.

The workshop will take place rain or shine. Please bring rain appropriate gear if needed.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Everyone is welcome! Please let us know if you have any accessibility needs and we will do our best to make accommodations.

Bio: Amina Lalor (she/her) is a Vietnamese-Irish-Métis designer, researcher, and educator. Her Métis roots are from Red River and she is a member of the Métis Nation of Ontario. Since 2018, she has been working as a researcher at the University of Guelph to help create "Nokom’s House," a proposed Indigenous land-based research lab led by Indigenous scholars Dr. Kim Anderson, Dr. Sheri Longboat, and Dr. Brittany Luby. Amina holds a Bachelor of Architectural Studies and Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, where she has also recently taught as an adjunct instructor. Working from the perspective of a mixed settler, refugee, and Indigenous designer, Amina’s continued research explores the meaning of practicing architecture "in a good way" on Indigenous lands within a violently imposed settler-colonial context.
