Voices in Circle:
Amplifying Indigenous Cultural Voices
The University of Victoria and the Farquhar at UVic are proud to announce Voices in Circle: Amplifying Indigenous Cultural Voices; a presenting and engagement series featuring established and emerging Indigenous artists.
Guided and curated by a Programming Circle of Indigenous and Métis artists, arts administrators, academics and leaders; the series will present diverse artistic expressions including music, dance, theatre, burlesque, drag, comedy mixed media, lectures and visual arts with a regional, provincial and national scope.
“This initiative is taking the first steps in true decolonization of institutionalized artistic spaces,” says Programming Circle member, carver and musician Tejas Collison.
“It’s a new way of doing things,” says Ian Case, Director for the Farquhar at UVic. “UVic is committed to walking the path towards Truth and Reconciliation and Canada’s arts and cultural sector is changing. We’re committed to changing with it. We’re reconsidering our traditional role as a cultural gatekeeper and making space for a new approach.”
Community engagement activities will complement performances with talk-back sessions, workshops, artistic collaborations, knowledge sharing, mentorships, residencies and engagement with local Indigenous artists, Elders, communities, audiences and the public.
