Arts and Culture +Truth and Reconciliation, a panel discussion

  • CARFAC Saskatchewan 1734 A Dewdney Avenue Regina, SK, S4R 1G6 Canada (map)

In the six years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission published their Calls to Action, what has changed?

About this event

It will be six years since the TRC Calls to Action were published. And while there is no mention of the arts and very little about culture, individual artists and arts and culture organizations have embraced the call for reconciliation, and maybe more recently, truth. How do you see these efforts? Has anything in the arts and culture sector changed? For the better or not? What would you like to see happen now, next steps?

Joining hosts Chris W. Carson (Executive Director at CARFAC Alberta ) and Wendy Nelson (Executive Director at CARFAC Saskatchewan ) will be:

Becca Taylor: artist + curator + Executive Director at Ociciwan Contemporary Art Centre, Edmonton

Olivia Kristoff: arts writer + Curator at WANUSKEWIN, Saskatchewan

Theresie Tungilik: artist + activist + Advisor for Arts, Government of Nunavut, Rankin Inlet 

Each panelist will talk for ten to fifteen minute expanding on where they see the arts and culture sector today. There will be discourse between the panelists, questions from the moderators and the virtual audience for the second part of this panel.
