About this listen
"[It's time] Indians become landlords again." For artist Alex Janvier, Denesuline, from Cold Lake First Nation, sovereignty and land are inextricably tied to one another. It is a relationship that signals responsibility and reciprocity rather than dominance and subjugation.
Throughout his long and distinguished career, Janvier has explored this connection in varying ways through his art.
Host Chris Beaver digs into his storied career and speaks with him about land, sovereignty, and his hopes for the future.
He is also joined by Greg Hill, Kanyen'kehá:ka artist and the Audain Senior Curator of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada.
This episode mentions residential schools. The Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line is available 24-hours a day for anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their Residential school experience. 1-800-721-0066. Please take care while listening.
