As part of the ongoing commitment to residential school denialism and honouring Indigenous survivance, resilience, and good relations, the Decolonization Working Group of PACHRED is hosting Artful Resilience: Moving Beyond Denialism on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

They invite students, staff, and faculty to share their creative work at a community art gathering. All art forms are welcome (music, poetry, visual art, storytelling, performance, and more) as ways of remembering, witnessing, and imagining otherwise together. Everyone is invited to join in learning.

The first 15 artists to register will be invited to share their work for up to 5 minutes each. This gathering is meant to be a respectful, supportive space for creative expression, reflection, and connection. Each presenting artist will receive a $50 Tim Horton’s gift card as an expression of gratitude and appreciation. To begin the process of registering as an artist, apply through the artists’ registration on ExperienceBU.

Faculty, staff, and students who wish to attend should register through the general event registration on ExperienceBU. Community members are invited to email Allison at [email protected].

Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm
