The Future is You and Me: Edmonton Edition is a free virtual workshop-series, by and for BIPOC womxn and non-binary artists and cultural workers*, hosted by ‘The Future’ in partnership with the Mitchell Art Gallery.
These workshops are for those at any stage in their arts career or practice, and aim to build community and connection between creatives in Vancouver and Edmonton while supporting professional development and removing isolation barriers.
Through these workshops, we will explore three themes over the following months:
Life and Livelihood
Care and Community
The Future
The goal of The Future is You and Me is to create and build safer spaces for BIPOC womxn and non-binary artists and cultural workers to candidly explore ideas of identity and share their experiences. While “discipline-specific” mentorship programs currently exist, ‘The Future’ embraces creative humans whose practice and artistic expression has many forms, who may pursue multiple disciplines during their careers, and/or who are in the process of exploring arts career options.
This project is based in Vancouver and is working in collaboration with the Mitchell Art Gallery. Fall sessions are co-organized by Kathryn Lennon and Kristin Cheung.
