We would like to take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge that the Luke Lindoe Library rests on the traditional Treaty 7 territories of the Blackfoot people. In the spirit of our efforts to promote reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Piikani and Kainai), the Tsuut’ina (Sarcee), the Stoney Nakoda First Nations (Bearspaw, Chiniki and Wesley), the Metis Nation (Region 3) and all those who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.

“What does it mean ‘to matter’? Or more precisely, what does it mean NOT to matter?

As part of the courses: MADT 401 Advanced Practice in Media Arts and FINA 450A Breaking Aesthetics, students selected Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) artists that resonated with their practice and created one-page compilations of artists’ biographies, mediums, images of their works and references (including Library resources). Below are the compilations:
Both courses are taught by Associate Professor in Media Arts, Kurtis Lesick.
