Dreams, Visions, Hallucinations: Disability and Other Ways of Seeing with Mona Stonefish and Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning

Poster for event with information and images of Mona Stonefish and Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning.

March 6, 2019, 4:00–5:30 p.m. in the Joe G. Green Theatre, Centre for Film and Theatre, York University, Toronto

Presented by Sensorium, VISTA and The Peripheral Visions Speaker Series.

Dolleen Tisawii’ashii Manning hosted a public conversation with Traditional Doctor and Elder Mona Stonefish on Anishinaabe dream imaging practices and their implications for critical disability studies. Manning worked with her mother and Stonefish in developing her mnidoo theory of consciousness. This interrelational understanding of perception and knowing involves a possession by these living potencies, along with an expanded understanding of vision. In this discussion, they questioned western conceptions of ability and disability, while also considering the debilitating impacts of colonialism.
