“COURAGE LAB: ARTS & EQUITY SERIES
Presented by SKETCH & Neighbourhood Arts Network
RIGHT RELATIONS WITH ELDERS’ THROUGH WORD, ART & SONG
MONDAY, MAY 30, 2016 | 5:30-9:00PM
LOCATION : SKETCH : 180 SHAW ST – LOWER LEVEL
Join diverse artists, educators, organizers and activists to courageously investigate, share and experiment with concepts, ideas, tools and practices exploring equity, reconciliation & anti-oppression through the arts!
At this next Courage Lab, Ma-Nee Chacaby will open with teachings about how to have right relations with indigenous and two spirit elders through storytelling and image making, followed by a participatory workshop led by Hussein Janmohamed on the relationship between patriarchal ritualized spaces and matriarchal re-imagined spaces. We will learn chant-based music, compositional tools, and singing techniques as foundations from which we will create compositions inspired by themes brought during the evening.
The Courage Lab series builds on the on going Emergence partnership initiative lead by SKETCH and Neighbourhood Arts Network, focused on making space to investigate creative practices for leading social change in Toronto’s arts communities.
