September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada
Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we turn to the arts as a way of listening, remembering, and carrying stories forward. Creativity has always been a vessel for truth—whether through song, beadwork, painting, or performance—allowing memory and resilience to live on in forms that can be shared across generations.
In honoring Survivors, their families, and the children who never came home, may we create spaces where stories can breathe and be held with care. Art is not an answer, but it is a path toward understanding, empathy, and connection.
Every canvas, every drumbeat, every word spoken carries the possibility of reconciliation—if we choose to listen.
The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg is a participatory arts collective and living lab, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It's a space where innovation and creativity thrive. It's latest iteration was launched in 2021 with funding and support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse. Today, working with students and faculty from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, we fuse traditional and participatory media arts with artificial intelligence, music, storytelling and community-driven, land-based artist residencies to cultivate new voices and bold ideas. Whether through collaborative projects or immersive experiences, our small but vibrant community supports creators to explore, experiment, and connect. Join us at the intersection of artistry, technology, culture and community—where every moment is a new opportunity to create.
