Mi'kma'ki 2030

In this dynamic, multi-disciplinary installation-performance, the Mi’kma’ki 2030 Collective dreams and articulates a vision for a decolonized and climate-just Mi’kma’ki. Following a generative and innovative process of exchange and collective creation, four Indigenous and Black members of the collective – Catherine Martin, a renowned Mi’kmaq story-teller and filmmaker; Bria Miller, a Queer, Black, Indigenous mixed media visual artist and musician; Tayla Fern Paul, a Mi'kmaq artist, activist and metal fabricator; and Liliona Quarmyne, an African/Asian choreographer, dancer, actor and activist – share their reflections on what Mi’kma’ki could be in the year 2030. They articulate the possibilities of a different way forward and consider our responsibilities to the Earth and to each other. The Mi’kma’ki 2030 Collective places the voices of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) artists front and centre in a process of dreaming revolution and recognizing the vital importance of these voices in building a climate-just Mi’kma’ki that values all. Audience members coming to see Mi’kma’ki 2030 will become part of a provocative sharing of film, visual art, music, and dance. Part installation, part performance, this is an interactive experience that asks audience members of all ages to immerse themselves in the most pressing questions facing our collective existence on this land, and to in turn envision a decolonized future grounded in climate justice.
