[Wendy Philpott]

Please join The Mush Hole Project 2.0<http://www.mushholeproject.ca/> digital art and performance event where 30 Indigenous artists reflect on reconciliation in 2022.

The Mush Hole Project, 2016
The Mush Hole Project was an immersive, site-specific art and performance event that took place at the Woodland Cultural Centre (Brantford) in 2016. This collaborative project aimed to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action and to preserve, query, and reveal the complex personal, political, and public narratives around Canada’s residential school system, in general, and the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, in particular.

The Mush Hole Project 2.0
Now 6 years later, the Mush Hole Project 2.0 asked 30 Indigenous artists to reflect on the Truth and Reconciliation's Calls to Action and if reconciliation is really happening in Canada in the year 2022. This project aims to raise the public profile of residential schools and their ongoing devastating impact through a cross-cultural artistic lens that will be showcased digitally to a national audience as a 3-day virtual stream. This project has been funded through the Canada Council for the Art's Digital Now Fund.

Professors Sorouja Moll and Andy Houston (Communication Arts) are on the curatorial team, and a current student and an alumnus of the Theatre and Performance program are presenting artists in The Mush Hole Project 2.0

HOW TO JOIN: This virtual event is available to stream anytime from at 7pm tonight June 17 to 7pm June 19 at mushholeproject.ca<http://www.mushholeproject.ca/>
