Our Environment

We are gloriously, inescapably earthbound and yet we disregard our home at our own peril.

Our world is calling out, louder than ever, to wake up, listen deeply, and come into the right relationship with our land to save what we have left and plant the seeds for a thriving future.

The truth is that climate action and sustainable stewardship of our natural resources are essential for our survival here on Earth.

We can no longer turn our heads and ignore what we don’t want to see. It’s time to change.

How will we honour and care for our Mother?

Imperfect Eco-Hero Podcast

Global - turtle island

Through the power of storytelling, the Imperfect Eco-Hero Podcast, based in Toronto, will connect and celebrate eco-heroes across the globe fighting the climate crisis, presenting stories that inspire and deepen our understanding and respect for the planet.

STONO (Previously funded 2022)

STONO is a concert-ritual exploring the 1739 Stono slave rebellion through the voices of its beyond-human participants: ancestors, water, mushrooms, guns, drums, the Kongolese Virgin Mary, and more. Rejecting the prevailing notion that Stono was a “failed” insurrection, this piece speculatively proposes outcomes that redefine success in ways that exceed racial politics and human temporality. Through songs, movement, and guided audience participation, STONO queers history to illuminate voices and strategies left out of written accounts. The show creates space to practice listening to and speaking with beyond-human entities, cultivating our capacity to learn from the greater worlds we sit within. Drawing on this wisdom, STONO is meant to inspire revolutionary action grounded in attention to physical and metaphysical concerns.

Gather

Gather is an intimate portrait of the growing movement amongst Native Americans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through food sovereignty, while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide.

Gather follows Nephi Craig, a chef from the White Mountain Apache Nation (Arizona), opening an indigenous café as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation (South Dakota), conducting landmark studies on bison; and the Ancestral Guard, a group of environmental activists from the Yurok Nation (Northern California), trying to save the Klamath river.;
