BIPOC Fringe Gathering

Thursday, September 17 | 12noon-1:30pm | Zoom | Ages 14+

Join us for an online meet-up with past, present, and future BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) Fringe Artists and community members! Get comfy in front of your computer as you engage in themed questions on how artists have pivoted during COVID-19, such as:

Some look at this time as an opportunity to view things in less binary ways. For example, losses and gains. How does that statement resonate for you? How do you foresee a shift in your artistic practice? Or do you? How can we facilitate a more effective interweaving of traditions, abilities, and cultures in our creative process that support racial justice in terms of belief(s) and behaviour(s)?

Please note that this event is exclusive for BIPOC participation.

RSVP by Sept. 6 to indicate needing ASL interpretation or live captioning. Registration closes on Sept. 17.
