About us: We are a group of artists, community members, and academics seeking to build mutually beneficial education and art partnerships with Indigenous artists and communities, connected with the new York University campus at Markham.
A note on land acknowledgement: We see our work together as a form of land acknowledgement, working together to acknowledge the ongoing harm done by (and which continues to occur) by colonization on these territories and in our institutions. We affirm our commitment to actively working for truth, change, and Indigenous resurgence, and hope this project can find new ways to celebrate and support Indigenous excellence, creativity, and leadership through engaging with the land and the learning it offers us.
See our Partnered Projects page for some of the projects that are emerging from this work, as well as this Report about our activities and the connections between healing, social justice, community arts and education, by Joanne Bear.
