Join us virtually for a special Bletcher Hour featuring guest Tanya Lukin Linklater.

Tanya Lukin Linklater is an artist, choreographer, and poet. Her work was featured in our 2023 exhibition My mind is with the weather, organized in collaboration with Oakville Galleries and the Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver. For this month’s Bletcher Hour, we will read a selection from the recently published exhibition catalog of the same name. The selection includes texts from Tanya herself, essays from Frances Loeffler, Beth Paiatote, and Eugenie Joo, and a conversation between Tanya and poet Layli Long Soldier.

Our discussion will take place online via Zoom. This program is free to attend. Please contact Heather Kehoe, Program & Event Coordinator, to register. Readings are sent as PDFs in advance of the event.
