Our People Our Climate

An experimental incubator for urban and land-based digital arts and cultural entrepreneurship training for next-generation Indigenous talent.

Our People, Our Climate.

Our People, Our Climate is a ground-breaking documentary film initiative, aiming to develop the storytelling skills of Indigenous youth and young adults. First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities across Canada and the Arctic are essential to current climate change discussions, and this project brings together a range of young people in these communities to tell important stories through a unique and distinct cultural lens.

In our program, youth and community artists become active researchers gathering and documenting the impacts of climate change on their communities. Following the inspiration of previous research work that highlights the need of the direct inclusion of local Indigenous populations in research operations as a form of reconciliation, Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners from two hemispheres are collaborating and contributing to research on climate change visualization.

This initiative was made possible with funding and support from a number of partners and organizations.

This program was made possible with the support of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

This program was made possible with support from the Manitoba Arts Council.

This program was made possible with strategic innovation funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse.
