V'ni Dansi Artistic Director Yvonne Chartrand is honoured to be part of Matriarchs Uprising - a roundtable highlighting choreographic voices of Indigenous women.

Curated by Olivia C. Davies, Artistic Director of the Vancouver-based O.Dela Arts, Matriarchs Uprising (2019-) is a unique platform that highlights the choreographic voices of Indigenous women, offering stories of transformation through dance creation, production, and conversation.

Through consultation with Mitchif knowledge keepers, we have decided to embrace a name for this production that honours one of the languages of our people and centres a Mitchif worldview.

Michif Medicines was thus renamed La Mitchin di Mitchif. 

We look forward to sharing this work with you in June 2021.
