To celebrate spring, Yonnhe’ón:we Indigenous Arts Series returns to Collingwood on May 30, 2024 for a unique evening of storytelling that weaves video, dance and music.

Dancers Kean Buffalo and Jaeili Rae, will delight audiences with a mix of pow-wow and hip-hop freestyling, set against the backdrop of music videos by contemporary Indigenous musicians STOIK, DJ Shub and Halluci Nation (A Tribe Called Red) for a unique evening of dance performance.

Blended through the performance will be a video discussion featuring award-winning filmmaker, actor, and show-runner, Jennifer Podemski that looks at her evolution as a storyteller.  Led by Jillian Morris the discussion dives into Podemski’s career as a mixed Anishinaabe-Ashkenazi artist, her journey to bring Indigenous stories to Canadian screens and her advocacy to build safer spaces for diverse storytellers within the film and television industry.  

Come early or stay after for conversation, strawberry drink and an Indigenous art exhibit curated by Shorelane Arts.
