Objective

Drawing from principles that animate beyond human kinships, call backwards into the future of Indigiqueer brilliance and Indigenous knowledge, this workshop invites participants to explore present space-time continuums and dream more radical futurities.

Expanding on tastawayihk / in-between (2Spirit) principles, we move across thresholds of body and voice, exploring what wants to be sung and birthed into being.

Through heightened sensory awareness and body-voice activations, we attune ourselves to the intimate processes and cycles that unfold within and around us. Expanding on personal, collective and cosmological frameworks, which centre Michif and Indigiqueer practices, we deepen into the rich intersections of land and body-based methodologies.

We will explore the interplay of ancestral connections, creative lineages, stillness/silence as resistance, and personal intuition as emergent tools for liberation.
