Jeremy Dutcher is a member of the Tobique First Nation, and a two-spirited composer, performer, and anthropologist whose work on Wolastoq culture & language preservation, water & land politics, and anti-pipeline activism is at the forefront of his musical practice. Dutcher approaches climate change through an artistic practice that demonstrates how gender and climate justice are indelibly linked in efforts to combat climate change through land repatriation, sustainability, and community organizing.

The Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality and Women and the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program are partnering with the Department of Music and Native American & Indigenous Studies to host three performances as part of their 2020-2021 year of programming dedicated to environmental feminisms, with a focus on Indigenous feminisms and transnational feminisms. The proposed APC & GSWS programming concerns the overlapping projects of environmental justice, transnational feminist activism, Indigenous epistemologies, and artistic performance as feminist method. Three performances will provide artistic responses to the theme of environmental feminisms: Jeremy Dutcher’s performance will help articulate the relationship between climate activism and Indigenous knowledges. The production of Leonora Carrington’s Opus Siniestrus, led by Ricardo Bracho, will register a feminist approach to think through the relationship between gender and environment in the face of apocalypse, and Carmina Escobar’s experimental vocal piece will interrogate the relationship between bodily subjectivity, vocality, and the environment.
