Indigenous Ways in Art and Wellness with JP Longboat and Elaine Kicknosway
“First Nations creativity, cultural knowledge, language, and spirituality for reclamation: A reconciliation process based on healing time and space” with JP Longboat
“A Traditional Indigenous Way of Life Through Song, Dance, and Rites of Passage” with Elaine Kicknosway
Elaine Kicknosway discusses how the arts play a part in a traditional Indigenous way of life through song, dance, and rites of passage. As a knowledge keeper in a changing world, Elaine will address cultural safety, sharing of knowledge and actions we can take in our local regions.
Presented virtually as part of Culture Days Canada, this speaker series welcomes those working in art and wellness, and those looking to learn more, to a supportive and safe environment for learning about the transformative potential of the arts within communities. Experts in the fields of community building, social prescriptions, creativity, museum wellness, craft and Indigenous practice will address innovative art and wellness programs and engagements in practice across museums, hospitals, art studios and community gathering spaces.
The talks in this series are free, and the events will take place on Zoom. Register to save your spot, a link will be shared closer to the date of the event.
This event is made possible through the generous support of the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area.
