Learning Lab fall 2022
Every art form, artist, and art practice has a cultural context. How do we ensure that we are doing our best to create culturally safer spaces for the young audiences with whom we are engaging? What kinds of things should we consider when we reflect on the cultural implications of our art? How do we ensure that we are honouring traditions and cultures? How do we ensure that we are not appropriating art forms? These are the discussions and questions we will consider in the special upcoming Fall 2022 Digital Learning Lab: Anti-Oppression.

Spring Digital Learning Lab
This year, with a deeper understanding of what it means for an artist to take their work into classrooms under the constraints of today’s climate, we are excited to bring a new learning experience, which combines the success of last year’s workshops with entirely new elements.
