Niriqatiginnga Weekend Workshops
Niriqatiginnga and @1860 team members meet each Saturday in Headingley for an immersive day of learning and working on our arts, cultural entrepreneurship, and food insecurity projects.
Winter City Stories Meeting
Part of our project’s goal is to provide a platform for those who have transitioned from northern life to urban living to document, celebrate, and pass on traditional stories and narratives, community history, and rich cultural heritage.
When we talk about "critical diversity," we're not just talking about having people from different backgrounds or with different qualities in a group. We're saying it's important to really value and include all those different people and their perspectives.
Arts terms! What does critical diversity mean?
In simple terms, critical diversity is like using all the crayons in the box to create beautiful and colorful pictures, and making sure that everyone, even those who were left out before, gets a fair chance to be a part of the artwork. It's about celebrating our differences and making sure they all count.
Upcoming funding deadlines for Sept-Oct 2023
