INDIGENOUS PROGRAMMING

The Hornby Festival has been prioritizing the development of Indigenous programming through relationship building and self-education since 2019 and continues to do so. We are grateful to have been developing initiatives under the cultural direction of Elder Barbara Whyte (Billy), Pentlatch knowledge keeper and member of the K’ómoks First Nation.

 

During the Festival, the Hornby Festival Society will be hosting artists in residencies to share art, culture, and lived stories to ensure that unique perspectives and knowledge are included. We recognize the importance of reconciliation by entering into relationships with the express purpose of forming meaningful, intentional, Indigenous-led cultural collaborative programming.

When attending our Community Hall workshops, take a moment to visit the portraits of the elders who have shared their stories since 2021 at the Hornby Festival. We treasure their sharing for education as part of the process of Truth and Reconciliation.
