Kaitlyn Grant is the curator of the most recent exhibition in the femlab gallery. The show, called repurposed: an exploration of digital art and activism, includes work by graduate students in Digital Humanities, Gender and Social Justice Studies, and Design, all from the University of Alberta.

repurposed runs until the middle of April, come by the gallery in 1-02 Assiniboia Hall to see the work!

Included in repurposed is Kendra Cowley and Kateryna Barnes’ sonic map, Unsettling Colonial Mapping: Sonic-Spatial Representations of amiskwaciwâskahikan 

This project is supported by the Digital Rights Community Grant Program, a partnership between Digital Justice Lab, Tech Reset Canada and Centre for Digital Rights. This map is a sonic exploration and representation of the North Campus of the University of Alberta. Campus has a long history as Native Land, be it as a traditional meeting place for diverse Indigenous peoples (Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, Haudenosaunee and many others) on the banks of the kisiskāciwani-sīpiy (North Saskatchewan River), as a Papaschase settlement, or as the homestead of Métis leader Laurent Garneau.  All of this was long before the University’s founding in 1908.
