Memento Maxima Digital MarketingCo.ERASGA is an arts organization rooted in Filipino heritage, migrant stories and racialized settlers.
“MigARTion aims to create critical and creative space where professional artists and the migrant community, create art together, in a shared environment of planning, integration and eventual execution of the project. It is engaging art practices through dancing, writing, singing, painting and acting, as a social intervention to marginalization and intercultural alienation, and a process that nurtures the everyday practice of criticality and empathy,” the statement added.
The project will be held in Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton, New Westminster and Victoria between June 3 and 25, 2023.
