Experience powerful Indigenous storytelling in an intimate environment.
This casual event features the faculty and participants from our three-week Story Sharing residency, which supports Indigenous storytellers in deepening their creative practice among a supportive, land-based, and peer-informed environment.
Join these artists in Banff Centre’s newest venue, CLVB ’33, to celebrate a new generation of Indigenous storytellers.
The sharing is hosted by faculty member January Rogers, a Mohawk/Tuscarora writer and media producer. She lives on her home territory of Six Nations of the Grand River, where she operates Ojistoh Publishing and Productions. Her video poem Ego of a Nation won best music video at the American Indian Film Festival 2020, and her audio work The Battle Within won best experimental audio at the imagineNative International Film + Media Festival in 2021.
