Dialogue

Our Dialogue Series celebrates, uplifts and amplifies the work of First Nations performing artists. It is a series of short interviews and responsive writings by Indigenous audiences and artworkers about work created by Indigenous artists. It addresses the lack of responsible, ethical and critical writing about, by, and for Indigenous art-making processes, collaborations, practices, performances, and more. We are here to make our own archive.
