In an era where we are again seeing the dangers of nationalism—something contemporary art has claimed to reject outright, yet unquestionably participates in—it is worthwhile to think carefully, skeptically, and curiously about this anniversary and the charged moment it will afford. Here, a cultural critic explores the problems and opportunities surrounding Canada 150: an event that could, and should, be as much about the future as the past.

Njootli’s lecture focusses on residue, performance, sound and the land. This includes her involvement with ReMatriate Collective, her work as a Cultural Tattoo Practitioner, and as a performance artist.
