    Aiyyana Maracle is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist based in
Vancouver, BC.  Over the past two decades, she has produced work as a stage
director in theatre and opera, independant curator, writer, and visual and
performance artist. While continuing to maintain her practice, Aiyyana's
current focus is to complete her final year of a Master of Fine Arts /
Interdisciplinary Arts program at Goddard College in Vermont, and to explore
options for where to engage a PhD program in History and Cultural Studies.

    Her talk will describe her own journey from an abusive familial situation,
through the violence, drugs and despair of Vancouver's streets in the 70's, to
her persistant 20-year struggle to gain access to the academy.
