WIGWAM CHI-CHEMUNG

Decolonizing Astrophysics

For this Toronto Biennial event, artist and poet Elder Dr. Duke Redbird and astrophysicist Dr. Renée Hložek discuss the human relationship to the cosmos from a multiplicity of perspectives, considering their intersections as a potential path toward Indigenizing astronomy curricula.


Launching on September 21, the Toronto Biennial of Art is a 72-day, free art exhibition that will take place every two years.

For this Toronto Biennial event, an intimate conversation under the stars brings together artist, poet and educator Elder Duke Redbird and renowned astrophysicist Dr. Renée Hložek to discuss the human relationship to the cosmos from a multiplicity of perspectives. In the context of Elder Redbird’s project Wigwam Chi-Chemung based in and around Ontario Place Marina and Caecilia’s Tripp’s Intersteller Sleep at AGYU and 259 Lake Shore Blvd East, the conversation moves toward Indigenizing Astronomy curricula.

Visitors are invited to bring along warm clothing and blankets for the event.
