And a special thanks to our co-presenters and venue sponsors

The Toronto Performance Art Collective lives and works on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee people in the North Part of Turtle Island, land bound by the Dish with One Spoon covenant.*** Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, settlers, immigrants, refugees, and displaced people have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.

Acknowledging territory is only one step in the necessary work to challenge the legacies of colonialism, and cultivate strong and meaningful relationships with the First Peoples of Canada.

***The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. The Dish represents what is now southern Ontario, from the Great Lakes to Quebec and from Lake Simcoe into the United States. This covenant tells us that all who share the territory eat out of the same Dish, with only one spoon. We share the responsibility of ensuring the dish is never empty, which includes taking care of the land and the creatures that cohabit it. There are no knives at the table; we must keep the peace.
