The International Indigenous Music Summit is dedicated to building opportunities and creating awareness for the Indigenous music community and is a unique gathering of artists, knowledge keepers, community builders and cultural innovators.
This year the event will be held virtually, broadcasted from the National Arts Centre on traditional unceded Algonquin territory in Ottawa, with artists and presenters joining from the comfort of their homes.
To make this virtual event a success, the curators created a special Summit project, Giiwewizh (to carry home) that features 16 Indigenous artists from across Canada in 16 short documentaries, produced by Jennifer Podemski’s RedCloud Studios and directed by Sarain Fox, Indigenous storyteller, activist, and filmmaker.
