Festival Overview

For 10 days in August 2009, Harbourfront Centre and Brantford’s Woodland Cultural Centre present Planet IndigenUs, a multi-disciplinary arts festival showcasing Canadian Aboriginal artists in an international context. Providing a unique and provocative experience of the contemporary realities that define indigenous artistic expressions, the guiding themes of this festival are Identity, Beyond Contact and Continuity.

Music, dance, visual arts, craft design, theatre, literary art, film and performance art fill this exciting two-weekend event. Interactive performances, workshops, and hands-on artistic/community collaboration projects help advance artists’ careers, develop local, national and international links, and build new audiences of indigenous art.

Based on a collective vision and spirit that aim to embrace and honour the role of art in indigenous life, this festival will be a celebration of the innovation, adaptability and evolution of indigenous identity.
