Seeing Red: Jay Soule in conversation with Sara Mai Chitty
12 January 2025, 2PM
Jay Soule, working under the pseudonym "CHIPPEWAR," has been combining art and activism since the early 2010s. Using vivid colors, contemporary illustration techniques, and humor, Soule sheds light on topics like Residential Schools, the Doctrine of Discovery, and enduring Indigenous stereotypes. This exhibition brings together a selection of his posters satirizing blockbuster movie classics like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Back to the Future with the aim of exposing and criticizing the enduring legacy of colonialism in Canada.
Dont miss this unique opportunity to hear from these two influential voices as they explore the intersection of art, culture, and history. The conversation promises to offer a deeper understanding of the exhibitions themes and the power of art to transform narratives.
This insightful conversation will be moderated by Sara Mai Chitty, who currently serves as Curriculum and Pedagogy Advisor for Indigenous Initiatives at Western University.
Mark your calendars and join us for an afternoon of conversation, creativity, and community!
