Ləléʔnəŋ Listening-With
April 20 through June 2, 2024 I Off site programming
Ləléʔnəŋ Listening-With is a six-week series of workshops, conversations, and outdoor events that give space and time for asking how our personal, ancestral, and professional experiences and realities affect how we listen, and how we sound, specifically within the territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. Ləléʔnəŋ Listening-With recognizes that artists and all community members have work to do with respect to the climate emergency, social justice, and a meaningful commitment to respectful relations with the original peoples of these lands.
