SUMMARY:Thinking Spaces: Justine Woods\, “Re-stitching as Methodology: Garment-making as a Transformative Practice in Research-creation”
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, January 21 at 12:00 PM (ET) for Thinking Spaces: “Re-stitching as Methodology: Garment-making as a Transformative Practice in Research-creation” with Justine Woods.\n \n\nThis presentation will take place in person at ImprovLab\, MCKN 108 at the University of Guelph. As always\, our Thinking Spaces events are free! \nTo attend the talk\, RSVP via our Google Forms. \nMore About this Workshop:\nIn this combined presentation and workshop\, Justine Woods will discuss garment-making as research-creation with particular focus on the role garments play in resisting settler colonial displacement of Indigenous ontologies and bodies to place. Informed by her PhD dissertation research\, Justine will expand upon the concept of ‘re-stitching’ as both a theoretical framework and embodied practice in exploring how the act of garment-making done by the Indigenous body can regenerate Indigenous ontology and re-stitch new worlds and futurities. \nTo support the workshop component of the talk\, attendees are encouraged to bring an article of clothing that they do not mind making permanent changes and or adjustments to. \nMore About the Presenter:\nJustine Woods is a garment-artist\, creative scholar\, educator\, and curator. Stretching across fields of study\, including but not limited to\, fashion studies\, performance and embodiment\, and research-creation\, Justine’s work passionately situates fashion as a pluriversal phenomenon. Her research centres garment-making as a practice-based method of inquiry toward re-stitching alternative worlds that prioritize Indigenous resurgence and liberation. To learn more about Justine\, please visit her website: www.justinewoods.com\nTo attend the talk\, RSVP via our Google Forms.

The second guest in the series hosted by Musagetes in Guelph\, Pantayo are queer Filipinx kulintang gong punks based in Tkaronto\, Canada. The ensemble combines traditional Kulintang music from the Philippines with contemporary influences and experimental sounds derived from their experiences as queer diasporic Filipinxs on Turtle Island. \nMore About the Series\nWet Sounds is a quarterly arts series that presents conversations and performances centring the intersections of feminist and queer musicians’ academic work\, artistic practice\, and collaborations in the polycrisis. This series will examine notions of grief\, ritual\, queerness\, pleasure\, land\, embodiment\, colonialisms\, decay\, noise\, and sound. Wet Sounds will ask how artists see their practice as impacted by or responding to the interconnected crises unfolding around us—climate chaos\, genocide\, fascism\, an erosion of democracy\, and multiple sites of oppression and resistance.
