对跨领域艺术家Rebecca (Becky) Bair来说,「黑人性」(blackness)代表着人多势众和机会。身为素里黑人艺术中心(Black Arts Centre)董事的她强调,在纪录黑人历史时,仅聚焦于他们遭遇的残酷待遇并不足够。

由約翰·藍儂以至賈斯汀·比伯等作曲家都曾創作過關於道歉的作品,但溫哥華唱作人Amanda Sum的作品卻是獨一無二。在她名為《New Age Attitudes》的首張專輯內,「Sorry」這首作品以簡單的民謠吉他曲調為開首。這讓Amanda動人的歌聲得以充份發揮,唱出了對系統性歧視和流傳已久的種族定型的控訴,當中更包含了強烈的個人觀點。

Sum, a theatre and musical artist, will combine both of her art forms at the Cultch Historic Theatre from May 11 to 14.

在Yvonne Wallace开始为《útszan》(改善)进行采排前一天,她与母亲一同回顾了台词的读音。这演出的部份对白是以ucwalmícwts(人民的语言)来编写。她透过Zoom视频会议向Pancouver表示:「当时我们正在练习「q’a7」这个字(食物)的发音。这是非常短促,并以声门来发音的词汇。我以为自己懂得如何把它读出来。」她的母亲是精通ucwalmícwts的语言教师,当时亦有协助Yvonne掌握正确的读音。

Combining ancestral knowledge with her theatre background, Wallace is merging two worlds, aiming to create something very special to witness on stage.

According to TRANSFORM co-curator Corey Payette, the event encourages collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists.
