Artmaking
13+20 September, 1–4 pm
 Géorgie Gagné hosts Chiskutamaachesuu, a two-day collaging workshop that invites participants to honour the land and its teachings through intentional artmaking.
Through the practice of collage, participants look to plants, wind and water, which teach us lessons on how to be good friends, family members and community members throughout our lives.
Géorgie Gagné is a multi award-winning, mixed heritage Cree and franco-québécoise artist, educator, facilitator and advocate, dedicated to infusing intersectional approaches, Indigenous ways of knowing intentionality and care within communities around Turtle Island.
Register today. Bursaries are available!
This program is supported by the Davies Charitable Foundation, Kingston.
