The Department of Fine Arts would like to invite you to join us on Monday November 21 at noon for our Artist Talk Series featuring the artist collective Hekler. The talk will be available for viewing in East Campus Hall 1219 also available online at https://uwaterloo.zoom.us/j/94403996547?pwd=SnNoTzRDUzZvS29YOVJWZXFFY2lzZz09.
HEKLER is an artist-run platform and transnational community of artists, educators, and cultural workers that foster the critical and experimental examination of hospitality and conflict merging artistic, pedagogical, publishing, and organizing strategies. Our practice centers collaborative and collective practice in which we explore the role of art in shifting socio-political landscapes and the liberatory potential of cultural work. We weave together transnational feminist positions, knowledges and radical imagination towards life-affirming futures.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
