- Abstract
This article discusses Indigenous literature and film from Québec that explore the impacts and legacy of the residential school system. Through a discussion of An Antane Kapesh’s works (Je suis une maudite sauvagesse, 1976 and Qu’as-tu fait de mon pays ?, 1979), Kevin Papatie’s short film L’amendement (2007), Caroline Monnet’s short film La mallette noire (2014) and Natasha Kanapé Fontaine’s slam poetry, this article analyzes the representation of both physical and emotional conflict within the artistic project are - to borrow from Dylan Robinson and Keavy Martin in The Arts of Engagement - instances of “aesthetic action”: these are interventions that offer alternative forms of public action, social transformation and healing.
