Lila Pine is a New Media artist and Principal Investigator of Imag(in)ing Indigeneity in Language, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada  (SSHRC) funded program of research/creation. Her work employs art creation as a scholarly research tool to shift perceptions around the relationship of language to worldviews and ecological concerns. Using cymatics, she seeks to develop a way of “seeing” languages.

Lila received her MFA from York University in Toronto and PhD from the European Graduate School. In 2011, she defended her dissertation, entitled Memory Matters: Touching the Untouchable, which theorizes oral, literate and “electrate” cultures. Dr. Pine graduated Magna Cum Laude. She teaches in the New Media program in the RTA School of Media, ComCult, the MFA in Doc Media, and the MA in Media Production programs.

Lila divides her time between Tkaronto where she teaches and Gespegawagi where she belongs and does her primary research. Presently, she is working on Fairy Stone Story, a genre bending book about memory, identity and language.

Lila uses the pronoun negm, which means she/he/her/him in L'nu
