Apr 23, 2025 - Theory of Water

When: Wednesday April 23rd, 7pm
Where: Toronto Reference Library, Bram & Bluma Appel Salon

Acclaimed Nishnaabeg writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson discusses her new book, which takes a revolutionary look at that most elemental force, water, and suggests a powerful path for the future.

Theory of Water is the culmination of Leanne's quest to discover, understand and trace the historical and cultural interactions of Indigenous peoples with water in all its forms. In it, she shows how a "Theory of Water" might lead to a radical rethinking of relationships between beings and forces in the world today.
