Storytelling Projects
WhereWeStand (external link)
Cyrus Sundar Singh, Anna Triandafyllidou
Description
The WhereWeStand project paired Indigenous and newcomer participants together to produce creative works that deconstructed Canada’s colonial past and reimagined their relationship with the land and its people. The project fostered rare collaborations, bringing together individuals living in very different communities, sometimes even different time zones, to produce a shared narrative. Their works, which could be expressed in any form of their choosing – including dance, spoken word, film and material art – provides a unique window into expressions of identity and belonging.
