2021: Art & (Re)Conciliation
2021: Art & (re)Conciliation - SPONSORED BY MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I am so pleased to welcome you to the inaugural Bridge Festival. This Festival of Ideas aims to provoke a conversation, and to build under- standing and a collective commitment to confront the pertinent issues of our time. Envisioned as a gathering place where we can exchange ideas with great artists, thinkers and audiences The Bridge is about forging relationships to carve a path forward through common purpose. I moved to Treaty 1 Territory in early 2019 to become the Artistic Director of Royal MTC and to this day I continue to be amazed at the powerful Kelly Thornton energy of this place where the muddy waters converge. As Winnipeg means muddy waters. It is no surprise to me that this is also the home to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. As a third-generation settler, I am hopeful because the truth is finally being told as openly to my child as it was shielded from me, growing up. We know how fraught this word ‘reconciliation’ is and that it is empty without all of us confronting the great harms that colonization has inflicted upon the First Peoples. This is the truth, and we must own it. While we cannot gather in person, this digital edition is an assembly of some of the most exciting Indigenous artists in the land. My deepest gratitude goes to Kim Wheeler who lovingly curated the festival and brought together this remarkable line-up to grapple with the concept of Art and (re)Conciliation.
