Nadia Myre is a member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation and the Canada
Research Chair in Indigenous Arts Practice at Concordia University. An interdisciplinary
artist and educator, Myre considers how Aboriginal presence, worldviews, and
contributions to contemporary society can be foregrounded in the public realm. In the
hope of reconciliation, she asks what stories and histories need to be recollected and
shared to shore our collective memory against the amnestic colonial narrative.

Nadia Myre est membre de la Première Nation Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg et titulaire de la Chaire de recherche du Canada en pratique artistique autochtone de la Concordia University. Artiste et éducatrice interdisciplinaire, Mme Myre se penche sur la façon dont la présence, les visions du monde et les contributions des Autochtones à la société contemporaine peuvent être mises en évidence dans le domaine public. Dans l'espoir d'une réconciliation, elle s'interroge sur les histoires et les récits qui doivent être rappelés et partagés afin d'étayer notre mémoire collective face au récit amnésique de la colonisation.
