ROSEMARY SKOOL | Chukwudubem Ukaigwe's River Poetics

Join ROSEMARY SKOOL for their first event on the Nestaweya River Trail - a screening of River Poetics, where artist Chukwudubem Ukaigwe reads from the poems of NourbeSe Philip, Dionne Brand, Canisia Lubrin, Christopher Okigbo, Chimwemwe Undi, Chim Nwabueze, Sharanpai Puprai, Edouard Glissant, George Elliott Clark, Sonia Sanchez, Sylvia D. Hamilton, and Uchechukwu Umezurike.

When read to and at the site of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, these poems, and Chukwudubem's reading of them, affirm the significance of waterways for understanding diasporic relationality.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
