Colombianización questions the transnational audiovisual myth of narcoculture, as presented primarily in narco-telenovelas that have become a way to tell a manipulated version of the history of Colombia.
 
Nadia Granados is a Colombian multimedia artist whose work uses space, objects, movement, and the body, while engaging with video, music, pornography, magic, installation, performance, and improvisation. She often embodies tropes found in the world of mass media to recontextualize content from a perspective that emphasizes feminist concerns, the fight against globalization, and the illumination of state terrorism. Her work has been presented in Canada, Venezuela, Spain, Argentina, Germany, Slovenia, Korea, Brazil and Colombia.
 

150 BLOWS! The year 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canada’s continued invasion of Indigenous lands resulting in Cumfederation. This is your celebration! Will you join Indigenous Canadians taking part from coast to coast to coast, from Rez to border? The Canada 150 adventure awaits you.
 
Adrian Stimson is a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation in southern Alberta. He is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and educator with a BFA with distinction from the Alberta College of Art & Design and an MFA from the University of Saskatchewan.
