Chan Centre for the Performing Arts presents An Evening With Leanne Betasamosake Simpson—an acclaimed Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer, musician, academic, and activist—on January 29 at 7:30 pm.
Simpson, who is from Alderville First Nation, has become one of the most influential and powerful Indigenous voices of her generation. Her bestselling books have been shortlisted for the Governor General’s Literary Awards, while her latest album, Theory of Ice, was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize.
For this event, Simpson will discuss her most recent book, Theory of Water, a national bestseller and winner of the 2025 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction. Simpson reimagines water’s relationship to all beings and life-forces, envisioning it as a catalyst for radical change. Collaborating with snow and ice, she creates a sovereign space for communal dreaming and imagining, reworlding hearts and minds in response to the shared present moment.
