National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Webinar - Reconciling Reconciliation Through Design

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Architecture can contribute positively to societal change. Taking an Indigenous perspective into account provides an opportunity to build awareness about the relationship between reconciliation and design. This is an Indigenous-led session that will explore how Indigenous values can influence design in architecture and how the design process itself can be understood as relationship building in pursuit of common goals.

This session will explore how architectural practices in Canada can positively contribute to reconciliation and asks what this may mean.

Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Describe what reconciliation means for architectural practice in Canada.
  Describe the challenges of design sovereignty for Indigenous peoples.
  Describe what Indigenous design is and isn't.
  Describe how settler land relations conflict with Indigenous values.
