Flesh, Rivers, Sky, Stones
This talk, in part through 100-word poetic vignettes, attempts to break down conceptual binaries between monogamy and nonmonogamy, human and nonhuman relating, and redefines “promiscuity” as abundance, not excess. In an ongoing 100s practice, Kim TallBear works to more faithfully theorize from a Dakota social and geographic standpoint, more-than-monogamous and more-than-human relating.
Dr. TallBear's talk will be followed by a Q & A moderated by Dr. David T. Fortin<https://uwaterloo.ca/architecture/profile/dtfortin>, Professor in the School of Architecture.
