Instruments of Survival, Red Jam Slam

Heart of the City Festival 2020

Indigenous artists raise their voices and spirit  in support of troubled youth. Pre-recorded on World Suicide Prevention Day Sept. 12.

On September 10, 2020, Gunargie O’Sullivan and her Red Jam Slam Society presented Instruments of Survival on World Suicide Prevention Day. We shared a wonderful sunny afternoon with talented performers to raise awareness of suicides in the Indigenous community, and to offer uplifting words and spirit in support of troubled youth. Performers included: Fraser Valley Drummers, singer and guitarist Nayden Palosaari, flautist Anthony K. McNab, the father and son musical duo Trevor Angus &amp; Blair Angus; with live painting by Smokey D. This event was video recorded for the Festival by Elwin Xie, and we are proud to now share this video recording with you online. This event was hosted by NOW Society in partnership with the Heart of the City Festival and was presented live outdoors at 8EAST at Pender and Carrall. The Red Jam Slam Society encourages strategies that honour Aboriginal voices and encourages all to participate with continued growth, presence and expression. <ul><li>Online livestream on our website</li><li>Free / donation appreciated</li></ul>
