Greetings from Dr. Teresa Torres de Eça An opportunity for art educators InSEA President " to theorize and practice ‘making’ in art education." The last time InSEA held a World Congress in Canada was in 1992 in Montreal and it has never been held in Vancouver before. InSEA members, since the foundation in 1954, have worked hard to advocate for a place for the arts in educational contexts. We are a strong community of researchers, practitioners, and artists; teachers in schools and universities; educators in communities; museum and cultural center educators. And today we are proud to say that art education is a recognized field for research and praxis in many countries. However, we need to be attentive to the challenges of our time, and constantly revisiting the reasons why visual arts education fits the priorities of our societies and respond to long term social and environmental goals. The 2019 World Congress will be a space for dialogue and collaboration where we can share and discuss theories, strategies and actions following the evocation transmitted by this special place: an ancestral territory in a multicultural city. Here, we can focus our attention on the theme ‘making’ as we become provocative in our joint quest to understand art education concepts, practices and responsibilities in relation to places and people. 5 6 A Place How can place consciousness impact art education particularly in an era when migration, immigration and refugee status change our sense of location? Indigenize What are the possibilities and implications for Indigenizing art education in an inclusive learning context? Identity How might we describe hybrid identities and rethink our practices as a result? Experiment What relationships exist among artistic and pedagogical risks, failures, successes and stabilized/destabilized practices? 7 8 Greetings from InSEA 2019 Program Chair Greetings from World Congress Co-chairs Dr. Ching-Chiu Lin Dr. Kit Grauer and Dr. Rita L.

It is through an engagement with cultural memory, painstakingly reclaimed, that Coast Salish women began a revival in the 1960s. It included historically resonant weaving and basketry, as well as the more recent adaptive and expedient practice of knitting.

  • Nitobe Memorial Garden UBC Botanical Garden Vancouver, BC
    The Nitobe Memorial Garden is a unique symbiosis Nitobe Memorial Garden of Pacific Northwest Coastal forest and Japanese UBC Botanical Garden native plants and is a testament to the relationship that exists between the Canada and Japan. The Vancouver, BC, Canada Nitobe Memorial Garden is located on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is managed under the auspices of the UBC Botanical Garden. Garden History The garden was originally designed to commemorate Japanese educator, agriculturist, scholar, philosopher and statesman Dr. Inazō Nitobe, who was the founding director of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, that later became UNESCO. Dr. Nitobe worked for World Peace and International co-operation throughout his life. He helped establish important relationships between Japan and other nations. His most famous published work is Bushido: the Soul of Japan, one of the first major works on Samurai ethics, Japanese culture, and Japanese morality. A best seller in its time, Bushido was read by Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, and President Theodore Roosevelt, among others. Nitobe later was honored with his image on the 5,000 yen note. In 1933, on his way back from the Pacific Ocean Conference in Banff, Canada, Dr. Nitobe died in Victoria, Canada. Two years later, his friends and the Japanese community in Vancouver brought the Kasuga lantern from Japan, and created a small Japanese garden with it on UBC campus. August 2015 marked the 80th anniversary of this event. Following the Second World War, Dr. Nitobe’s friends, the Japanese community in Vancouver, and local government agreed that a permanent memorial to Nitobe and his work was needed in In 1935, friends of Dr.

  • “We Do Not Talk About Our History Here”: the Department of Indian Affairs, Musqueam-Settler Relations, and Memory in a Vancouver Neighbourhood
    “We Do Not Talk About Our History Here”: The Department of Indian Affairs, Musqueam-Settler Relations, and Memory in a Vancouver Neighbourhood by Alexandra Sanya Pleshakov B.A., McGill University, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Alexandra Sanya Pleshakov, 2010 ABSTRACT The Musqueam Indian Reserve is one of the few in North America located within the boundaries of a major city. Although historical narratives have long silenced the experiences of urban Aboriginal people, this case study draws attention to the many contexts in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people interacted across legal boundaries that supposedly kept reserve space and urban space separate. This thesis argues that the Department of Indian Affairs was the principal actor in both facilitating and constraining Musqueam and non-Musqueam relations in early-twentieth-century Vancouver though its control of land, resources, and the consumer economy. Furthermore, this thesis argues that the policies and practices of the state were so pervasive that they have come to dominate any memory of those relations today. Using an extensive collection of oral histories recently carried out for a local community history project in Vancouver, this study explores the processes through which the history of Musqueam and non-Musqueam interactions have been both remembered and erased. In doing so, this thesis makes clear the relationship of social history to social memory, and contributes to recent scholarly work in documenting how Aboriginal histories are necessarily urban histories.
