Who are We?

We are a group of artists, community members, and academics seeking to build mutually beneficial education, research, and art partnerships connecting settlers and Indigenous artists and communities, and helping to shape the brand new Creative Technologies program at York University’s campus at Markham. See our Projects or Education pages for some of the projects that are emerging from this work.

A Note on Land Acknowledgement:

We see our work together as a form of land acknowledgement, working together to acknowledge the ongoing harm done (and which continues to occur) by colonization, on these territories, and in our institutions.

We are on these listening paths together, many journeys, with many names, and many different peoples, cultures, priorities ,and approaches. 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.
