What does Canada look like when approached not through headlines or statistics, but through direct encounters and lived experience?
This illustrated talk grows out of a 75-day, 21,000-kilometre journey across the country, travelling from the Pacific to the Atlantic and back. Drawing on field notes, conversations, and a large body of visual documentation, Dr. Arianna Dagnino and Dr. Stefano Gulmanelli offer a grounded portrait of contemporary Canada, shaped by time spent listening to artists, farmers, Indigenous elders, activists, newcomers, community leaders and ordinary people in both urban centres and remote communities.
Wednesday May 6th – 6pm

The presentation brings these encounters together within a broader interpretive framework, using images, narrative, and analysis to place individual stories in relation to questions of identity, belonging, and solidarity, and to reflect on how these are lived across Canada’s vast and diverse landscape.
Complementing the illustrated talk, a small photographic exhibition is presented, featuring 8 selected images captured by Dr. Stefano Gulmanelli during the coast-to-coast journey.
It is not possible to make multiple reservations with the same email address.
