Speaker: Ian Campeau

This is a free event open to students and the community.

As a founding member of A Tribe Called Red and a recognized activist and ally, Ian is keenly aware of the power of his art in creating positive change. Ian taps into the conversations we’re having on campus and in our communities, and the ones we need to be having more of. In this interactive, one hour show, Ian engages students on topics that matter to them such as mental health, identity, anti-racism, allyship, consent, pop culture, and current events. You’ll hear from Ian and he’ll also pick up the phone to call on some of his friends from music, film, and TV. Appearing by live video or phone, special guests may include names like Strombo, Tegan Quin (Tegan & Sara), Shad, Grimes, Damian Abraham, Tanya Tagaq, Chris Hannah (Propagandhi), and more. Each presentation is different from the last, with Ian connecting directly with students and a different cast of celebrities. Breaking down the barriers between students and pop culture role models, this open format allows for discussion and Q&A between students, Ian, and his guests.
