As Canada’s arts sector continues to evolve, Gathering Divergence A Journal Centering IBPOC Perspectives in Canadian Arts Practices stands as a bold affirmation of Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPOC) creativity, leadership, and influence. This newly launched journal highlights the methodologies, lived experiences, and artistic practices that are reshaping the arts landscape across the country.
Join us as we unveil the first issue, Shifting Perspectives and Evolving Ways of Working in the Arts, which explores how IBPOC artists engage with questions of cultural relevance, social impact, and creative innovation. Contributors to the journal include artists, scholars, and changemakers—many of whom have presented or performed at The Gathering: Divergence Multi-Arts Festival and Conference.
As part of the launch, we gather in celebration of the season, honouring the communities and collaborators who continue to help till the arts sector—cultivating space, opportunity, and understanding for generations to come.
