Examining the private with the public via an imaginative lens.
I acknowledge the support offered to my path by the organizations, foundations and funding bodies listed above.
As a contemporary settler in Canada, I stand with the Indigenous people of this land and the process of truth first - reconciliation next as Canada reshapes itself. To the Algonquin and Anishnaabeg people of this land, thank you for all the care I received since moving here.
Obrigada.
