Art Not Shame

Guelph Spoken Word invites you to celebrate the Indigenous Poets Society for the launch of their anthology mihko kiskisiwin - blood memory. Join us for an evening of readings, celebration, and connection.<ul><li>Books will be available for purchase for $36 - or bundle with your ticket for discounted access to the event!</li><li>The venue is wheelchair accessible, and we’ll have light snacks and carbonated beverages available.</li></ul>mihko kiskisiwin is collection of Indigenous North American voices, from incarcerated and diversified Indigenous community members, elders, and youth to people with dis/abilities and 2SLGBTTQQIA+ people. The book showcases spoken and written poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction from emerging and established artists, writers, and performers. Testimony is at the heart of this collection. With vulnerability and urgency, these writers illuminate the complexities of trauma, identity, and healing. By empowering diverse and divergent Indigenous voices, intersectional awareness and diversity flourish. We see how one story can’t possibly encapsulate the breadth of Indigenous North American cultures and experiences.In Cree, “mihko kiskisiwin” means “blood memory.” It’s the idea that our ancestral knowledge is in our blood’s memory, and calls for right relationship - cultural restoration and resilience, inter-related respectfulness, and interconnected reciprocity.<blockquote>This anthology is our stories in our own words - as a revolutionary act of remembering, reclamation &amp; resurgence for future generations to come.</blockquote><a href="https://indigenouspoets.com/" title="https://indigenouspoets.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">indigenouspoets.com</a>
