The Aesthetics of Reconciliation in Canada

SSHRC Awarded IDG 2011: Artistic practices form an essential component of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). While important scholarly contributions have already examined the political and social contexts of reconciliation and redress, our proposed project will be the first of its kind to examine the role that the arts play in the culture of reconciliation in Canada, from national TRC-hosted events in Inuvik, Halifax, Victoria, Montreal, and Edmonton, Saskatoon and Ottawa, to smaller festivals and grassroots performances in various regions of the country. In studying these events, we will ascertain how artistic performances contribute to—or perhaps even govern—the process of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
