This work describes some of the results of Canadaâs Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools (TRC). Exploring the role of art in reconciliation, healing, and political action, the book describes how visual and performing arts, cultural practices, and ritual have been used to heal the cultural losses and individual traumas associated with Indian residential schools. Contributors include First Nations artists, filmmakers, and playwrights, in addition to academics in Canadian studies, Indigenous studies, cultural historiography, and ethnomusicology. Those interviewed include: Bracken Hanuse Corlett, Georgina Lightning, Armand Garnet Ruffo, and Lisa Ravensbergen. The book includes b&w photos of exhibits and performances, as well as historical photos. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) - Ingram Publishing Services
Focuses on the sensory and affective impact of music, film, visual art and Indigenous cultural practice in and beyond Canadaâs Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. Contributors address the role of the arts in residential school history, in TRC events, and outside the formal boundaries of the TRC process. - Ingram Publishing Services
Arts of Engagement focuses on the role that music, film, visual art, and Indigenous cultural practices play in and beyond Canadaâs Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools.
Contributors here examine the impact of aesthetic and sensory experience in residential school history, at TRC national and community events, and in artwork and exhibitions not affiliated with the TRC. Using the framework of âaesthetic action,â the essays expand the frame of aesthetics to include visual, aural, and kinetic sensory experience, and question the ways in which key components of reconciliation such as apology and witnessing have social and political effects for residential school survivors, intergenerational survivors, and settler publics.
This volume makes an important contribution to the discourse on reconciliation in Canada by examining how aesthetic and sensory interventions offer alternative forms of political action and healing. These forms of aesthetic action encompass both sensory appeals to empathize and invitations to join together in alliance and new relationships as well as refusals to follow the normative scripts of reconciliation. Such refusals are important in their assertion of new terms for conciliation, terms that resist the imperatives of reconciliation as a form of resolution.
This collection charts new ground by detailing the aesthetic grammars of reconciliation and conciliation. The authors document the efficacies of the TRC for the various Indigenous and settler publics it has addressed, and consider the future aesthetic actions that must be taken in order to move beyond what many have identified as the TRCâs political limitations.
