Tiohtià:ke Creative Circle

We’re inviting Two-Spirit, queer, and Indigenous LGBTQIA+ artists to join a new creative cohort grounded in community, collaboration, and growth.

This is a space to develop your practice alongside other queer indigenous artists. Whether you’re a performer, tech crew, visual artist, writer, musician, clown, or interdisciplinary artist, we want your vision and voice.

What you can expect:

• A small, supportive cohort of 5-9 fellow artists
• Opportunity to learn the principles of the Kayanerenkó:wa, the Great Law of Peace of the Kanien’kehà:ka
• Facilitated sessions focused on creative development and exchange
• Space to explore your practice in a culturally-grounded, relational environment
• Opportunities for mentorship, feedback, and collaboration
• The opportunity to collectively design and produce a cabaret-style show during Pride Week

Who this is for:

• Indigenous 2SLGBTQIA+ creatives
• Emerging to mid-career artists
• Interested in community, collaboration, and collective growth

Details:

Dates: Weekly dinner meetings between May and August 2026
Location: Tiohtià:ke / Montreal

This is not just a program—it’s a space to build relationships, strengthen our community, and grow together.
