Unlocking creativity: Daring to Fail when creating new work
Friday, Oct. 21 | 1:00 – 2:30pm
Dalhousie Arts Centre – Studio 2
Free and open to the public, masks are mandatory.

“How do we differentiate between good and bad ideas when we create work in theatre? Using intimate work for immersive settings, together we will create moments strung together of imperfect choices in order to investigate what truly entertains and resonates. We’ll risk bad choices to see what can fall flat, or fly.” -Sherry J. Yoon

Digitizing the Ancestors: Communications sovereignty and contemporary cultural resurgence

Thursday, Oct. 27 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Dalhousie Arts Centre – Room 406
Free and open to the public, masks are mandatory.

Digitizing the Ancestors is a community-directed project that has preserved Indigenous multimedia radio and television broadcast recordings since the late 1960s. The project makes accessible long-silent archives, re-sounding the voices of Elders and culture bearers, and revitalizes traditional teachings and lost, silenced, or otherwise forgotten practices. Powwow events, interviews with Elders, politicians, and artists, and sharing of traditional knowledge reflect the richness of the archive. As living communications, these recordings carry messages of well-being across generations, revealing their echoes within contemporary society.
