Learning and Unlearning through Artistic Collaboration - Developing (Re)conciliation Practices with Land, Self and Community

Melanie Kloetzel (MFA, PhD), Professor of Dance at University of Calgary, discusses her collaborative art-making practices and research with particular attention to her work with TRAction, a settler/Indigenous co-led arts collective that focuses on climate arts and justice. In discussing her work in dance, place-based and immersive performance and digital mediums, Kloetzel explores her own learning and unlearning journey as a settler engaged in (re)conciling with both land and Indigenous communities.
