Announcing the 14th Season of the Animikiig Creators Unit

“Excited to announce the 14th season of the Animikiig Creators Unit.

The next two years cohort brings together emerging Indigenous creators developing new works that dig into history, gender dynamics, and acts of reclamation. Rooted in curiosity, resistance, and reconnection, these artists are shaping bold and necessary conversations through their practices.

Honoured to support and witness their growth and professional development.”
— IRMA VILLAFUERTE (ACU Program Facilitator)

The Animikiig Creators Unit (ACU) is a two-year development program for emerging Indigenous creators. The Animikiig Creators Unit offers Indigenous creators across Turtle Island and beyond who are early in craft and in the emerging stages of theatrical creation the opportunity to develop their craft through individualized development plans and resources under the guidance of professional mentors.

Animikiig is the Ojibway word for the initial rumblings that tell us of the thunder storm that is to come.
