Rural & Remote Arts Visibility Campaign- Living Temagami Arts & Culture
Thank you to SPARC Performing Arts
Our organization is part of a community that celebrates a wealth of First Nation and non-First Nation cultural heritage. It is important that we find ways to hear each individual’s truth as part of healing relationships and challenges. This project allowed us to showcase the importance we place on sharing stories through the Arts. We honor our First Nation Elders’ wisdom, listening to each story of the individual’s healing journey through various art forms. Elders from Bear Island Temagami and Community share how their art, music and traditional handcrafts have helped bring healing and connection to cultural identity.
