  • Jul 2022 - Jul 2023

  im:print 2022 is a multidisciplinary performance that weaves the personal stories of Indigenous, settler, immigrant, and refugee artists. It speaks, dances and sings the complex journey of our inter-relationship of place, people and belonging while challenging current beliefs and highlighting the real implications of equity, diversity, inclusion and identity politics. This inter-cultural, intergenerational, community-based production will provide much-needed creative medicine for our community to speak their truth and tell stories that often can’t find a home—stories of place/displacement, belonging/longing, connection/disconnection across diverse voices. We strongly believe that “Art can be a powerful way of healing, raising awareness, and having conversations around difficult subjects.” Show less
