This residency offered me the opportunity to create and express in ways I would not have otherwise dreamt of. Through this highly collaborative environment, we built a community in which not only all ideas were uplifted and valued but all people as well. These relationships with those who started as my collaborators and have now become my dear friends will surely leave a lasting impact on my personal and creative trajectories.

In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minihrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play here, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.
