SUMMARY:Arts in the Parks: The Spiral of Our Relations
DESCRIPTION:R.V. Burgess Park will become a gathering place for families\, youth\, adults and elders. The community is invited to join us during a series of nature walks and art activities. The nature walks will take place on the perimeter of the park. They will have an opening circle\, medicine walk\, hands-on art activity and opportunities for participants to share their own stories. These gatherings are more than time spent in nature\, they are an opportunity to expand one’s awareness to the beauty of Creation that surrounds us. \nThese programs will lead to the creation of our collective ephemeral installation\, the Spiral of our Relations\, during our final event. This low-relief sculpture will be co-created by participants. It is grounded in time and space\, Indigenous Teachings and community. Artists Alan Colley\, Alex Iorgu and Singer and Fire Keeper Aaron Cook will be using different elements to weave in the Mineral World\, the Plant World\, the Animal World in a beautiful piece. Our final installation will show the beginning of Creation as it spreads out to all the Relations. The Spiral of our Relations reflects much needed values of inclusion\, community building\, environmental stewardship\, and honouring the Indigenous People of this Land. \nNatural Knowledge Keeper Alan Colley will share knowledge about the park through teachings and storytelling. We will follow up with a clay sculpting activity with land-based artist Alex Iorgu. \nPlease dress for the weather as events happen rain or shine. Nature comes alive during rain with so many things to discover. To keep a low environmental footprint\, participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. For your comfort\, consider also bringing sun hats and a sitting blanket / camping chairs.
