Christine Genier – broadcaster, journalist, writer, poet, performer, and language and culture worker – takes us on a journey through the pleasures, impact and obligations in pop culture media from her perspective as a fan and Indigenous woman.

After presentations with Rumble Theatre in Vancouver and Lodge Pole Arts in Wolfe Island, we bring the performance home to Whitehorse!

A life long Trekkie, Christine mixes her powerful and humourous storytelling with memes in a fun, teasing breakdown of the television that makes us, Star Trek, and representation.
