Short Format: Jeneen Frei Njootli and Tsēmā Igharas Toronto Biennial of Art Podcast

    • Artes visuais

In this podcast, Jeneen Frei Njootli (Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation) and Ts̱ēmā Igharas (Tahltan First Nation) share how they collaborate with one another through growing friendship and their shared deep connections to the land. In their ongoing collaborative performance "Sinuosity" (2018-2019), the artists engage with ancestral memory, networks of kinship, and communal relations braids within communities and the land. The performance was part of "TELLINGS: A Post-Human Vocal Concert" (2019), co-curated by Maiko Tanaka and Myung-Sun Kim, where artists working experimentally with sound—live electronics, deep listening, sound art—performed compositions that challenge the conceptions of "voice" in terms of its origin and agency. "TELLINGS" was co-presented in partnership with Trinity Square Video and OCAD University Graduate studies.

Short Format Series Produced by Aliya Pabani and Angela Shackel.
