Events Description
Come celebrate the launch of Indigenous Theatre’s first season at Mòshkamo Indigenous Arts Festival! Our story begins with an all-Indigenous takeover of the National Arts Centre’s performance and public spaces on unceded Algonquin Anishinaabeg territory!
In ceremony with Elders from Kitigan Zibi, the name Mòshkamo was gifted to us in honour of the work we are presenting. Mòshkamo embodies the art of appearing out of water and invites others to bear witness to its arrival.
We proudly claim space at the NAC with contemporary, traditional and culturally-specific Indigenous activities and events.
Including:
Grand Entry: Journeying from Patterson Creek, traveling under the Corktown Bridge, paddling past the NAC and docking at the Sappers Bridge docks, an Algonquin-led flotilla that includes members of the local Indigenous Arts community and representatives from the NAC’s new Indigenous Theatre department will take up paddles to usher in a new era at the NAC.
