Back to top. 5. Beasts and Gardens exhibit opens at the UNB Art Centre on January 18 at 5pm The UNB Art Centre rings in the New Year with Anna Torma and David Zsako’s Beasts and Gardens which runs through March 1. This exhibit features two artists working with diverse media to explore themes of nature, creating a modern bestiary. Anna Torma is an artist/embroiderer based in Baie Verte, N.B. whose work reflects her interest in the life cycle of gardens, historical episodes and medieval bestiaries. In this exhibit she will be displaying a series of embroidered wall-hangings influenced by a recent residency in France where she encountered a series of medieval tapestries at the Chateau d’Angers commissioned by Louis I, the Duke of Anjou, depicting themes of the Apocalypse. David Zsako is an emerging artist based in Halifax, N.S. whose work using large-scale digital collages presents unique and unsettling arrangements of flora and fauna. His use of technology in the form of advanced imaging software and state of the art digital printers is in direct contrast with the biological nature of his subjects, which are not programmed externally but programmed from within to flourish, wither and die. ARTSnews January 17, 2019 Volume 20, Issue 3 As part of the opening the UNB Art Centre continues its popular FLOW series with the artist DenMother.

  • Marie Laing M.A. Thesis
    Conversations with Young Two-Spirit, Trans and Queer Indigenous People About the Term Two-Spirit by Marie Laing A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Social Justice Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Marie Laing 2018 Conversations with Young Two-Spirit, Trans and Queer Indigenous People About the Term Two-Spirit Marie Laing Master of Arts Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Since the coining of the term in 1990, two-spirit has been used with increasing frequency in reference to Indigenous LGBTQ people; however, there is rarely explicit discussion of to whom the term two-spirit refers. The word is often simultaneously used as both an umbrella term for all Indigenous people with complex genders or sexualities, and with the specific, literal understanding that two-spirit means someone who has two spirits. This thesis discusses findings from a series of qualitative interviews with young trans, queer and two-spirit Indigenous people living in Toronto. Exploring the ways in which participants understand the term two-spirit to be a meaningful and complex signifier for a range of ways of being in the world, this paper does not seek to define the term two-spirit; rather, following the direction of research participants, the thesis instead seeks to trouble the idea that articulating a definition of two-spirit is a worthwhile undertaking. ii Acknowledgments There are many people without whom I would not have been able to complete this research. Thank you to my supervisor, Dr.

Settler colonialism seeks to deny Indigenous Peoples a ‘contemporary’ by asserting both a temporal and spatial boundary. The temporal and spatial boundaries intended for Indigenous Peoples foster expectations from the dominant white culture regarding Indigeneity. Cree Mennonite cellist Cris Derksen and Wolastoqi singer Jeremy Dutcher mobilise settler expectations and institutional opportunities in their distinctive musical practices. These musical practices are the results of exchange and dialogue between Euro-American classical music and Indigenous musics, resulting in what Dawn Avery calls ‘Native Classical Music’. Such dialogues are negotiated through these musicians’ resistance to Euro- American classical music hierarchies, settler logics about authenticity and their resourcefulness in navigating settler institutions.

  • Haviah Mighty Has Won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the Album 13Th Floor
    HAVIAH MIGHTY HAS WON THE 2019 POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE FOR THE ALBUM 13TH FLOOR TORONTO, ON – Monday, September 16, 2019 Haviah Mighty has won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the album 13th Floor. “For me, the 13th floor is something that we remove from our reality because it is something that we don’t understand and therefore we dismiss it,” said Haviah Mighty. “This is very parallel to so many of the experiences that I speak on, on this album. I’m in a room with so many different people from so many different walks of life who have acknowledged that this is something they feel is important. These people don’t necessarily share the narratives that I ,do or the walks of life that I have, and yet, here we are, finally on what I believe is the 13th floor. This is the moment of resurgence where the dismissal that has existed is now being removed, and the discussion is being had. I’m so grateful that the people around me push me to be brave enough to speak my truth and to have it be acknowledged in this way.” The Prize, which was presented by CBC Music, goes to the best Canadian album of the year based on artistic merit without regard to genre, sales history or label affiliation. It was determined by a Grand Jury of 11 music media professionals drawn from the greater Polaris jury pool of 199 writers, editors, broadcasters, DJs and personalities from across the country. Haviah Mighty’s victory came with a $50,000 monetary reward.

  • What Sovereignty Sounds Like April 25Th 2017 – the Music Gallery – Toronto, Ontario Kristine Mccorkell
    What Sovereignty Sounds Like April 25th 2017 – The Music Gallery – Toronto, Ontario Kristine McCorkell David Dacks: Good evening everybody. Welcome to The Music Gallery. I’m David Dacks, the artistic director here. Thank you for being here tonight. Before every event that we host at The Music Gallery, we acknowledge the land because it’s the very least we can do to acknowledge something so central to all of our existence here. But in speaking with Jarrett, from Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), and Jeremy, our host tonight, about how this should be addressed; they both said that land acknowledgment is a given wherever Indigenous People gather. In any case the land acknowledgment should only be the beginning of engagement with Indigeneity for arts institutions. I’d like to thank Dylan Robinson and Keavy Martin’s recent book “Arts of Engagement” which discusses Indigenous aesthetic action as an interface with the Truth and Reconciliation events from structure to content. It has implications for artistic production in places like The Music Gallery. The book became a major inspiration for this event. Many chapters speak of the land acknowledgment by settlers is a performative gesture that is somewhat meaningless, especially if it is merely a tossed off statement at the beginning of a concert. I hope that this event, which Jeremy, Jarrett, and The Music Gallery staff have worked hard to structure in this format, promotes vibrant conversation and musical uplifting all in one. Greater measures are required to build events that are truly welcoming and inclusive, and prioritize Indigenous voices for their own sake rather than trying to shoe horn Indigeneity into an institutions metrics of diversity.

    The Hum Podcast Episode 26: “We Were Meant To Be Assimilated Or Exterminated” [Theme music fades in] Jeremy: Language we think of as simply communication, but really it's worldview, it's how we are in relation with each other. It is truly everything, and so when you abstract that from a people, when you beat it out of a people, we have people without a sense of identity. [Music increases in volume] Speaker: You're listening to The Hum. [Music decreases in volume] Gilad: This episode today is sponsored by Proscenium Services, an agency that helps artists and arts organizations perform at their best. Proscenium is a great solution for small teams, offering admin and fundraising support to help you get back to your creative work. Here's the thing about Proscenium Services. I started working with them this year at JAYU, and it's made a world of difference. They've been professional, dependable, and have helped our charity surpass our fundraising goals. Most importantly, they've alleviated so much of my time so I can focus on other creative projects like this podcast. Proscenium Services, they're amazing. Learn more at prosceniumservices.com.

He's most known for his music as an artist, tenor, composer, performer, and also my favorite maybe, a human rights activist.

  • December 17, 2019 the Honourable Rod Phillips Minister of Finance C/O Budget
    December 17, 2019 The Honourable Rod Phillips Minister of Finance c/o Budget Secretariat Frost Building North, 3rd Floor 95 Grosvenor Street Toronto, ON M7A 1Z1 Sent via email: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Dear Minister: Thank you for the opportunity to submit a pre-budget submission on behalf of the Canadian Independent Music Association’s (CIMA) Ontario-based membership, as well as its provincial division, MusicOntario. This submission will cover CIMA and MusicOntario’s recommendation for the Ontario Government to reinstate the Ontario Music Fund (OMF) budget to $15 million annually. We believe that the government’s investments through the OMF are integral to the success of Ontario’s music companies and the artists they support. These investments help solidify Ontario’s position as the hub of Canada’s music industry and as a breeding ground for bands and artists whose music is exported around the world. The commercialization of Intellectual Property (music) by the independent sector in Ontario guarantees an important return on investments into Ontario’s economy and into the pockets of Ontarians. CIMA’s Recommendation: Small businesses have been disproportionately impacted by the initial cut to the Ontario Music Fund. We ask the government to relieve the stress on those small Ontario companies and the entrepreneurs who lead them by partnering with them and reinvesting $15 million annually into the OMF. 30 St. Patrick Street. 2nd Floor | Toronto, ON | M5T 3A3 www.cimamusic.ca | www.music-ontario.ca INVESTING IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY There is no doubt that the Ontario Music Fund provided through the Government of Ontario and Ontario Creates is a catalyst for the provincial music industry’s success.

  • Jeremy Dutcher Tansi, Boozhoo, Hello and Welcome to The
    Jeremy Dutcher Tansi, Boozhoo, Hello and Welcome to The National Music Centre’ Speak Up! Exhibition, celebrating the voices of Indigenous music trailblazers past, present and future. Historically, Indigenous music has been marginalized, tokenized, ignored or even changed to reflect a mainstream definition. Early recordings were made by anthropologists with the belief that Indigenous people would lose their music and culture to colonialism. At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologist William Mechling travelled to the New Brunswick region to study the music of the Wolastoqiyik people. Between 1907 and 1914, he collected more than 100 wax-cylinder recordings of their traditional songs. Those cylinders were stored in Canadian archives for more than a century, unavailable to the general public. They sat on shelves as many traditional practices were outlawed by the federal government. Enter Jeremy Dutcher, who grew up with his drum learning traditional songs. Since he was a child, Jeremy deeply connected with music. As a young adult, he completed a degree in music and social anthropology at Dalhousie University; his formal classical training leading him to become an operatic tenor. After talking about the old ways and the music of his people, Jeremy was advised by Maggie Paul, a Wolastoqiyik Elder, to seek out William Mechling’s recordings at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec. In 2012 he entered the archives. It was as though he was meeting ancestors who wanted to share with him; not only was he hearing their songs, he was hearing their laughter and at times he could hear others nearby. Jeremy was particularly moved by one song, roughly translated to “The Fisher and the Water Spirit.” It opened his mind to new possibilities, to connect his two musical worlds – classical, jazz and traditional songs – with his language.
