Please join us for a virtual program featuring short films and artwork by Alan Syliboy (Mi’kmaq). We will begin the program with two short animations: Little Thunder, a traditional Mi’kmaq story, and Wolverine and Little Thunder: An Eel Fishing Adventure, a modern tale. Following the films, Alan will join us via Zoom to share images of some of his artwork, and to lead a live discussion/Q&A. Alan will share his stories about becoming an artist, his use of ancient petroglyph designs to reclaim and transmit Mi’kmaq culture, the role of elder artists in teaching and inspiring the next generation, and other themes related to his creative work. His stories are a vivid example of the importance of memory and of place.

This event is free, but a suggested donation of five dollars would be appreciated. Donate HERE.
