The Critical Media Club is pleased to invite you to a work-in-progress screening by Andrea Bordoli, a project entitled "There, where the creek is burnt, they still walk".

Andrea is an anthropologist and artist who visited us at the Anthropology department in 2022 and 2023, and did fieldwork in Schefferville. He offers to discuss his current research and fieldwork through a collective viewing at the CMC. We hope that you can come and share generous comments with him. This work-share session will take place on Monday, September 16th at 5:30 PM in Peterson Hall #108 (the famous CML room).


There, where the creek is burnt, they still walk –

"This work-in-progress audiovisual piece results from fieldwork material gathered during my ongoing PhD project exploring extractivism, (social) ecologies and re-mediations in and around the mining town of Schefferville and the Innu community of Matimekush – Lac John. Located in the vast boreal forest at the northern border between Québec and Labrador, the region is at the heart of the Nitassinan - the Innu people unceded, yet still unrecognized, territory. Working across different forms and filmic registers, “There, where the creek is burnt, they still walk” proposes a sensorial engagement with different ways of relating to this specific territory, as well as with the communities and presences inhabiting it."
