Keynote and Q&A

7:30-8:15PM

"Storytelling for Sustainability Through an Indigenous Digital Lens​"

​

Indigenous ways of knowing situate the practice of reciprocity between humans and the natural world as being of fundamental importance. In our digital age where media technology tends to bring people further away from contact with nature resulting in “nature-deficit disorder” as well as concurrent catastrophic changes to global ecosystems and climate, what can be done to foster a deeper and reciprocal connection with our human and non-human relations we share the Earth with? Through a multi-media presentation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, particularly youth, working with digital storytelling for environmental learning and advocacy from 2006 to the present, the power of a pedagogical paradigm that engages our latest tools with our species most ancient form of knowledge production is illuminating for creatives, educators, and researchers alike.
