Indigenous light display is coming to downtown Kingston, Ont.
“It is our hope that this is just the beginning of ongoing opportunities to bring people together to share, explore and celebrate Indigenous culture and teachings.”
QR codes on each piece of art can be scanned to enjoy an audio recording or written transcript of the stories that inspired the artist’s work. Using light, sound, play and art paired with the tradition of storytelling, Waawaateg immerses visitors in a thought-provoking experience at their own pace.
“Waawaateg has been a collaboration of many people passionate about community building, education and the deep history of the Indigenous people,” said Marijo Cuerrier, executive drector of Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area. “We encourage everyone to come to Confederation Park for the Waawaateg opening ceremony on March 10 at 6:30 p.m. There will be live music, and a gathering of artists, storytellers and community leaders as Waawaateg is unveiled,”Story continues below advertisementDowntown Kingston says the project was inspired by conversations between members of the local Indigenous community, allies and the Downtown Kingston BIA about the creation of an Indigenous-inspired winter installation.
It adds that the focus of the project is to work toward deeper understanding by engaging in relationships and teaching together through Indigenous storytelling and art, and to engage the community while offering a space for Indigenous people to see themselves reflected in an urban setting.
