Oral Indigenous History and Cultural Cosmology Workshops

8/23/2020

0 Comments

 
As a part of Arts Etobicoke's ongoing series, Augmented Reality in The Village of Islington, they are once again offering the free online workshop Oral Indigenous History and Cultural Cosmology Workshops with Philip Cote on Monday August 24th and Wednesday August 26th to those who live and work in the area of Islington.

These workshops will look at how Indigenous people organized their lives through the observation of the environment ie. Animals, Seasons, and Star Knowledge and how all these become Land-based Knowledge and survival tools for Indigenous People. In this session, Philip will focus on Star-knowledge and the Thirteen-moon Calendar.

Philip organizes his workshops with a smaller group dynamic. Focusing on wildlife pictography, its importance to Indigenous people, and how ancestors spoke about the organization of this wildlife through painting animals in the woodland style.

All our community workshops are free, however they are intended for community members who live or work within a 1km radius of Islington Village. This project is designed to more accurately represent the people who live and work in this community so we want to make sure that registration is targeted to community members. You are welcome to sign up for multiple workshops, however as space is limited we may ask you to choose your preferred workshop series so we can accommodate as many community members as possible.
