Aanmitaagzi is back with another series of community-engaged workshops for the Fall & Winter seasons! The workshops are part of our current project, All My R(el)ations. Through sharing our knowledge, remembering together, and celebrating the old ways we are building our community through art.
The workshops are free to attend and no experience is necessary. All ages are welcome except where noted.
All My R(el)ations is a multi-disciplinary dance project of gathering, reflecting, and dreaming. This multi-year project researches, develops, and creates art in, and around, relationality and resource capacity. How do we relate to ourselves and each other in times of scarcity? What actions have fractured our relationship to ourselves, each other, and the land? What actions give life to healthy thriving communities? All My R(el)ations seeks to re-establish ways in which we work well together.

This storytelling luncheon for elders is an opportunity to eat together and explore the care we had for one another: our families, community, and strangers.
