Unraveling Colonial Threads: A Virtual Conversation with Rebecca Lyon, Jaime Smallboy, and Aleen Sparrow

The following is excerpted from the Museum of Vancouver (MOV).

Presenting a virtual conversation with Rebecca Lyon, Jaime Smallboy, and Aleen Sparrow on “unraveling colonial threads.” Colonialism is deeply embedded in our systems. Join us as we hear from three Indigenous women artists as they talk to us about what it means to “unravel” these colonial threads. Through their work, they are reconnecting to their Indigenous identities and using their voices to raise awareness to racism and lateral violence that stems from colonization. This conversation aims to bring awareness to how we can continue to educate ourselves on the impacts of colonization during Indigenous Peoples month and beyond.
