Colonialism on Canvas: A 2Spirit Perspective with Jennifer Lenny – ITEP Student Lounge
- "Colonialism on Canvas - a 2Spirit Perspective" is an interactive art-based workshop in which you will learn about the 5 Stages of Colonialism and how each stage affected Indigenous people. This workshop uses art as a way to have conversations and reflections about colonialism and gives the participant an opportunity to paint a picture of resiliency and discuss how they might use the experience to revitalize and decolonize the spaces they hold as educators. You do not need to be artistic to participate. If you can draw circles, triangles, squares, and squiggly lines you can join in on the learning and reflections. Colleen Charles, who graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Master's Degree in Education, is the originator of this workshop and permission has been given to Jennifer Lenny to share from the perspective as a 2Spirit person.
