Metiyewestuwik (radio) is a performance that invites us to imagine the potential of having a community radio station for the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk. Louis-Xavier and Ivanie, both members of this community, will express themselves by talking about history and the news, and playing participatory games. All of it will be punctuated by music and dance, united by a single thread, that of the Wolastoqey language.

Biographie
Ivanie Aubin-Malo is a wolastoq and québecoise performer, choreographer and curator that engages in projects that reflect on ecology and human ethics in relation to the environment. She also initiates research residencies during which she connects indigenous people and artists to facilitate knowledge sharing and counter isolation. Through dance, Ivanie wishes to highlight the wolastoqey language, specifically its relationship to the human body and the territory where it takes place. Recently based in L’Islet (QC) in the Wolastokuk, she dreams of what a Wolastoqey cultural center could bring to this region, and what it could contribute to further foster the radiance of this Nation in being a space to welcome its members who wish to reconnect with their community on their ancestral territory.
«Qey, nil ntoliwis Luwi-Sapiye Apin-Pelupey, nuceyaw Wahsipekuk. Npalitahatomon eli-wolastokuhkewi naka Québécois. I am Louis-Xavier Aubin-Bérubé Wolastoqewi from the Wahsipekuk community and Québécois.» A graduate in Human Sciences, First Nations concentration at Kiuna College, then in the Wolastoqey language program (Wetapeksultiyoq) at St-Mary's in Fredericton, the Wolastoqey language has since been a passion for Louis-Xavier. A teacher for his community, he wants to give back what he has learned to other Wolastoqiyik. He is also participating in the creation of a very first immersion school (Kehkimin) for young Wolastoqiyik, scheduled for fall 2022.
TENDERNESS! GATHERING TO BREAK ISOLATION
9 days of free artistic activities
May 7 - 15, 2022
How can art highlight our interdependencies?
Through which means can we actively be together?
What energies can we harness to open sharing spaces?
Through the interim of several activities, Tenderness! explores the many spheres of isolation - social, geographical and artistic - that shape our way of being, interacting and caring for each other. By rejecting universalities that tend to blur inequities, Tenderness! instead affirms that it is in the sum of our singularities, in the expansion of our particularities, that a commonplace can be constructed.
