SUMMARY:Sechelt Arts Festival: Play Reading: Keepers of the Salish Sea
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-night only event in collaboration with Holy Crow Arts Society. Squamish Nation playwright Justin Neal explores the tradition of canoeing in Keepers of the Salish Sea. The play is about finding that path we all seek\, a search for meaning in life\, to discover answers to existential questions. A probing\, searching\, hilarious tale infusing Coast Salish traditions — inspired by a phenomenal cultural practice thousands of years old\, nearly erased by colonization — with the pressing environmental and social issues of our day. The stage reading is directed by Quelemia Sparrow.

SUMMARY:Sechelt Arts Festival: How Water Remembers Art Activation + Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an activation and discussion of Laiwan’s How Water Remembers\, a multi-part artistic project that aims to build awareness and cultural value in developing sustainable ecologies for humans and biodiversity. By increasing ecological biodiversity\, scientists believe we can slow down global warming and also increase protections against future pandemics. How Water Remembers encourages a vision of a more livable city with sensitive landscape architecture that enhances biodiversity\, while respecting our interconnected livelihood with the many diverse critters whose habitats may be currently endangered. \nWe will play The Divination Game that invites us to embody the qualities of the inhabitants of mudflats. The first 5 participants will receive an artist edition. \nSeptember 20\, 2pm-4pm

SUMMARY:Sechelt Arts Festival: Exhibition Opening + Festival Reception: Bracken Hanuse Corlett\, Jessica Silvey + Robert Joe\, Laiwan and others
DESCRIPTION:Up and down the pacific northwest coast there are stories shared of the great flood. They speak about the rising waters\, the urgency to escape to higher ground and coming down to start over again after the water recedes. In my home community\, Wuikinuxv\, it is said the People who survived the flood climbed the mountain known as Kvauma (seat of the eagle) to escape the push of the ocean water. In making a lot of the work for this show I was thinking about the art we make and the work we do after loss…after a series of losses. What happens when catastrophe and heartbreak are normalized in our bones? Where do we place focus? Do we look at what has been taken\, or to what remains and can be reclaimed?
