Art In Hard Times

Virtual Mural

We acknowledge the history of displacement, colonization, and extermination of Indigenous people, plants and living animals across Turtle Island while we stand and live in these lands. We acknowledge the 300 years of slavery and many other deliberate projects forgetting and erasure based on race, ability, mental illness, gender and sexuality, and class. We also need to bring to mind that the devices such as computers and phones required for this project, are created as a result of extraction of resources of metals and the exploitation of labour from places in Africa and South America. This is destroying the environment and leaving communities in poverty. We acknowledge that although the participants in the project speak a wide range of beautiful languages, we are limited to using the colonial language English. This excludes many new immigrants, and perpetuates the loss of many native languages. Furthermore, even though we believe internet should be a utility and not a luxury, we recognize this platform requires internet and this is also a big barrier for many friends who do not have access. We are confronting many difficulties to do our work in the most ethical way possible. We want to go beyond acknowledging these realities taking action, and we are far from where we would like to be. We are deeply grateful to the spiritual leaders, activists, elders, knowledge-holders, scientists, healers, and witches who have dedicated their lives lifting our spirit, raising awareness, educating, healing, and guiding. We are committed to learning and unlearning how to be in and build relationships with local communities, and honour local knowledge that is often misrepresented or misheard. We are here ready to fail, be with the discomfort, and continue listening, loving, and creating. We are trying our best to reinvent and regenerate our ways of being, sharing, and connecting with each other and with the earth. We invite you to be part of this co-creation, and we welcome your feedback.
