The Elemental Panels program, in collaboration with Vancouver’s artist-run galleries, Or Gallery and Artspeak, assembles academics, artists, and activists whose contributions to critical racial, anticolonial, and feminist thought and practice draw from the signifying richness of the elements – air, water, fire, and earth.The hope is to create space for, and to support, conversations that spark the imagination and sustain all emergent and possible anticolonial practices.
