Educating, empowering, and inspiring the next generation of #IndigenousArts Admin Leaders because the arts have the power to shift culture. March 10+11 in Ottawa. Limited spaces, funding available! – email angela.poundmaker@capacoa.ca ✨ @CdnHeritage @CanadaCouncil @ipaaonline
Nous sommes reconnaissant de nos membres et nous voulons valoriser leurs réalisations artistiques dans le secteur des arts du spectacle autochtone, d’un bout à l’autre de l’Île de la Tortue. Description du prix: https://ipaa.ca/prix-et-distinctions/.
Les #artistes #autochtones ont trop souvent été sous-représentés dans les catalogues des bibliothèques et dans les plateformes telles que @Wikipedia. Le plus récent rapport de l’initiative Un avenir numérique lié aborde cet enjeu et plus encore : http://bit.ly/3v16JyH
#Indigenous #artists have historically been underrepresented or inaccurately represented in library catalogs and in knowledge sharing platforms such as @Wikipedia. The latest report from the Linked Digital Future Initiative addresses this issue and more: http://bit.ly/3PDTYnd
Wishing you warmth this Winter Solstice✨
