New Co-applicant with Turtle Island Research Cluster: Dr. Éléonore Goldberg from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design

Exciting news! Author Duncan McCue and illustrator Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, from our Turtle Island Cluster, are collaborating with Professor Éléonore Goldberg and Alan Goldman of Emily Carr University of Art + Design—along with their student researchers—to explore how the graphic novel Indians Do Cry can be brought to life through animation. Éléonore has been accepted as a SSHRC Co-applicant on the SCVN project and connected with Duncan on October 28, when he travelled from Ottawa to Vancouver to meet with the local Emily Carr team and Mangeshig. The animation project is still in its early stages, but stay tuned for more on this creative partnership which blends Indigenous storytelling with cutting-edge visual arts.
