Vanda Fleury-Green | Director, Writer, Archival Producer & Researcher
Vanda Fleury-Green is a Métis woman from the western prairies of MB and her ancestral homelands extend from Red River throughout the Assiniboine valley. Her family roots are in Uno, a section on the railway line near the historic Fort Ellice. Miles of family and community relationships with a rural upbringing have cultivated a pull towards local stories embedded in land and memory. Walking within these spaces grounds her cultural identity.
With a focus on the resignification of space through the lens, her land-based photo narratives are framed by a storywork approach inspired by aged bricks, window frames, and engravings, as well as old footpaths and maps. Vanda’s photos of Birtle Residential School have appeared in Locale: Bringing Heritage to Life, the magazine of the National Trust for Canada.
Vanda joined the StrongFront.tv team in 2014 and as Director, Writer/Researcher, and Archival Producer for special projects, continues to present her work through the scope of resiliency and empowerment. She is President of Braiding Histories Inc, a non-profit organization centered on storywork, object and record literacy, and digital narratives. It is an emerging repository of Indigenous Knowledge.
