Speaker Series: In Conversation with Quill Christie-Peters on Wholeness
In leading up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we will be in conversation with author and artist Quill Christie-Peters.
After being gifted with a reading from her book On Wholeness: Anishinaabe Pathways to Embodiment and Collective Liberation, we will discuss how reconnecting with our bodies can be an act of resistance and healing for us all.
This event is free and open to everyone.
Quill Christie-Peters is an Anishinaabe educator and self-taught visual artist from Lac des Mille Lacs First Nation located in Treaty 3 territory.
She is the creator and director of the Indigenous Youth Residency Program, an artist residency for Indigenous youth that engages land-based creative practices through Anishinaabe artistic methodologies.
She holds a master’s degree in Indigenous governance on Anishinaabe art-making as a process of falling in love. She has spoken at Stanford University, the University of Toronto, and California College of the Arts, and her written work can be found in GUTS magazine and Canadian Art.
She is also a mother, beadwork artist, and traditional tattoo practitioner following the protocols of her community. All of her work can be found at @raunchykwe.
