Treaty Space Gallery, 1887 Granville St
Pole-to-Pole: Connections Involving Indigenous Dance, Body/Land and Intergeneration in the Americas (SSRHC) builds on Dr. Déborah Maia de Lima’s postdoctoral research, Giving Voice to Indigenous Young Women: Preventing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Through Dance and Body Practices (FRQSC). In this, she examined how dance and body practices can prevent sexual and gender-based violence among Indigenous young women.
This project is presented at the Treaty Space Gallery by the generous support of Land Connects Us.
Land Connects Us (LCU) is an interdisciplinary collective of Indigenous and allied artists, curators, educators, researchers, knowledge holders, activists, and community members committed to community-based, participatory work that uplifts Indigenous knowledge systems and the interconnected relationships between Land, Language, Arts, Culture, and community.
Land Connects Us research is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
