Please join us for presentations and conversations about Shakespeare Names/Sto:lo Memoryscapes, with members of the Oecologies research group, Vin Nardizzi (UBC English), Patriticia Badir (UBC English), Keith Thor Carlson (U of Saskatchewan), and Sonny McHalsie (Naxaxahalts’i). What was the history of the naming of the Kettle Valley Railway stops and the Othello tunnels, and how does this history relate to current resource extraction projects? What was the history and thinking that went into the establishment of the Stanley Park Shakespeare Garden? What is the significance of this garden now? What next? How are these spaces understood as Sto:lo memory scapes and in Sto:lo story? How might a conversation about different narratives of these spaces in dialogue contribute to Truth and Reconciliation?
With:
- “Why is Shakespeare in Stanley Park?” (Vin Nardizzi, UBC)
- “Shakespeare in the Coquihalla Subdivision” (Patricia Badir, UBC)
- “Sto:lo Memoryscapes: History from Stone and Fire” (Keith Thor Carlson, USask)
- and Naxaxalhts’i (Sonny McHalsie, Sto:lo Research)
