Decolonizing the Narrative Conversation Series with Margo Kane: Journey to Indigenize

Join us for a conversation with Margo Kane (Cree–Saulteaux Métis), performing artist, cultural leader, and Founder and Artistic Managing Director of Full Circle: First Nations Performance.

Kane will describe her journey to Indigenize her artistic practice through her work before 1992, when she founded Full Circle: First Nations Performance to create opportunities and build space for Indigenous artists to develop, train, and share their work.

She will also reflect on how she reconnects with herself and her artistic practice through embodiment techniques that are central to all her performances. This includes works such as Moonlodge, Reflections in the Medicine Wheel, and Confessions of an Indian Cowboy.

Facilitated by Janine Windolph, Director of Indigenous Arts at Banff Centre, the session includes a presentation by Kane, followed by a discussion and a Q&A. This conversation will be live-streamed and recorded, with the recording shared following the event. Sessions may share experiences and ask difficult questions.

About the Decolonizing the Narrative Conversation Series

The Decolonizing the Narrative Conversation Series is a bi-monthly conversation session inviting leading Indigenous Art creators to discuss their practices and processes. The series engages an Indigenous lens across various art forms, including Literary Arts, Film and Media Arts, Digital Media, Visual Arts, and Performing Arts such as Theatre, Dance, and Music. These sessions offer a space to explore and deepen your understanding of how Indigenous artists use their disciplines as tools to decolonize artistic processes and creation.
