Art NOW presents Darlene St. Georges
Embodied Landscapes
12 pm | January 30, 2019
University Recital Hall
Free admission, everyone welcome!
Darlene presents her artistic practice in tandem with her (academic) creation-research and brings us on her journey of becoming. As a Métis artist and poet from the Quebec Métis Nation, she endeavors to explore knowledge(s) based in ontological and embodied experiential knowing through her unfolding identity memories, dreams, and created (artistic) spaces.
Darlene St. Georges is a visual artist, poet and emerging scholar. Much of Darlene’s scholarship demonstrates her interest in emergent and generative knowledge that honours systems of knowledge and world-views that create openings to produce alternative discourse. Her creation-research is situated in contemplative practices and Indigenous methodology, and explores complex issues surrounding identity. It honours the reflexive quality of going inward to translate personal subjective aspects of self and experience. Her artistic processes are connected to notions of self and extending the boundaries of identity by recognizes the creative, critical, spiritual and performative ways of knowing in the world. Darlene is part of a shifting paradigm in arts education research where evoking memory and remembering, challenging notions of fixedness and honouring and sharing subjective stories and experiences invites innovation and embraces the unfolding metamorphosis of scholarship in provocative, creative and intellectual ways.
