Quilts can be a flexible membrane and extension the body through which inherited women’s farm stories and harmful settler colonial narratives are revealed, unraveled and re-storied. In this talk, Bond will share her graduate “research as creation” projects exploring unsettling her family archive to sew a more conscious family legacy. She will bring together makers, farmers and parents, (inclusive of 2SLGBTQQIA community members), whose slow ecological fiber practices further land back, responsible stewardship and sustainable agriculture initiatives.

Lindsey Bond (she/her) is an intermedia artist-mother and graduate researcher born in amiskwacîwâskahikan, (Beaver Hills House) or Edmonton, where the North Saskatchewan River flows on Treaty Six Territory. Using slow fiber and intermedia processes she intervenes in her white-settler family archive to think through her responsibility as woman and mother to remember and sew a relationship with the land.
