INDG 363 – Indigenous Poetry, Poetics, Printmaking is a studio course where students learn printmaking techniques. In Spring 2024, the course was co-taught by Simon Fraser University (SFU) Indigenous Studies professor annie ross and instructor Courtney Vance. The two educators fostered a classroom community where students were encouraged to engage in the process of researching, creating, and discussing their creative work.
As a poet and artist, ross sees the process of printmaking — where students make multiples of their artwork — as “a form of informed, expressive, and engaged democratic acts.” Through participating in the course, ross says that “students increase their skills in writing, drawing and printmaking as a means to recast knowledge of poetry and poetics, historic and current Indigenous community and global issues.”
Thank you to the following students who participated in INDG 363 in Spring 2024 for sharing their creative talents and personal reflections with our community.
