Reclaiming
our voices!
The Vancouver BIPOC-CA (Black & Indigenous People of Colour Creative Association) join together in solidarity to claim our space in the creative industry.
our determination
In order to truly address the constant perpetuations of our identities for profit, we have to name the racism taking place. We have to name the people/ organizations that are in positions of power, normalizing the denial and erasure of our historic and current presence. This is an act of violence, a hate crime and WE DEMAND CHANGE!!!
We would like to acknowledge the unceded, ancestral, and occupied, traditional lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Watuth), and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations of the Coast Salish peoples. This land is sacred and we acknowledge it as so. We cherish our city of Vancouver, and we respect and embrace the foundational teaching of respecting this land and water, and respecting one another.
