Making Sense of Decolonization
CREATE YOUR FUTURE 

Making Sense of Decolonization explores the power of Indigenous and non-Indigenous art, alongside artificial intelligence (AI), as storytelling tools. The project fosters inclusive conversations about decolonization through both technology and traditional art. While decolonization—the process of undoing colonial control and restoring Indigenous rights—is crucial, the project primarily focuses on building nurturing systems for future generations. This research-creation project explores how technology, particularly AI and traditional collaborative art practices, can help visualize decolonization.

The project acknowledges that Ka’tarohkwi ("a place where there is clay" or "a place where there is limestone") is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat and serves as a gathering place for many Métis Nation members. This acknowledgment evolves as we deepen our understanding through community engagement and interactions with the land, both physically and digitally.

​

Exhibited at four key venues—the Kingston School of Art, The Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning, Modern Fuel, and Union Gallery—these partners represent the four directions and the interconnectedness of Kingston’s artistic communities.

Born out of a 500 sq ft apartment, this project was made possible by those committed to understanding decolonization. Miigwech—to give thanks, give back, and return the favour to the land, our ancestors, and everyone involved.
