Presenters from all disciplines are welcome, as well as creative artists and practitioners whose work engages mythic themes in a scholarly manner.

As with paper presentations, posters should follow the conference themes found in our Call for Proposals.

Natalie Sappier’s Water Spirits Flow through our Conference

 

“Salmon River” by Natalie Sappier

Our thanks to Samaqani Cocahq-(Natalie Sappier) for sharing her artwork with us for our 2023 Conference, “Waters of Life –  Mythos, Divinity, Beings and Ecology.” Our focus is on connections and relationships among people, animals, and the powerful elements necessary for life. Natalie’s painting “Salmon River” (2022) beautifully captures the vitality of living waters and the intention and spirit of our program.

Natalie  is a Wolastoqey Indigenous multidisciplinary storyteller from Tobique First Nation, New Brunswick, Canada. For her, creating visual art awakened her connection with land and her Wolastoqey knowing and being.

Her community and Ancestral landscapes (New Brunswick) are her teachers and are home to where she navigates stories and creativity. She realized early in her painting career that she was not painting just for herself-she was also painting for her people.

Natalie dedicates much of her time creating stories in her Fredericton Studio and carries a passion in the advocacy of Arts, Culture, Two Spirited Sacredness and Indigenous Youth Mentorship. She believes Wellness and Art strand together and Indigenous stories carry the medicine of spirit and voice that protects our Mother Earth.

See the multi-talented artist’s website here as it develops. In addition to her paintings and murals, Natalie has a passion for sharing stories and engaging with people through sharing of public works and workshops; read more about her work here and learn about her play “Finding Wolastok Voice.”
