Tune in to a conversation between Black Indigenous Design Collective collaborators Lys Divine Ndemeye, Sierra Tasi Baker and Krystal Paraboo, moderated by Sara Stevens.

Together the collaborators discuss place-based installation and design in contemporary art, architecture, and community planning as it relates to the Lys Divine Ndemeye and Colin Berg Mbugua exhibition Sustaining Apertures on view at Or Gallery from March 7 – July 6, 2024. The conversation engages in the exhibition’s principles of social and environmental justice with a focus on botanical resistance, listening to plants, new visions for public art, and what decolonization means to the collaborators themselves.

This conversation was recorded Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Ballet BC on Granville Island and is co-sponsored by Or Gallery and Urbanarium.
