Tidal Volume is a digital artist residency featuring Indigenous artists from Vancouver and Melbourne, Australia. Tidal Volume is designed as a 'call and response' residency that creates an opportunity for Indigenous culture-bearers and artists to work with sound, song, language, spoken word and text to connect across distance. Produced in the context of the pandemic, Tidal Volume asks us to consider what presence means when we can't be in physical spaces together. How might we communicate - and listen - differently?

The waterways and coastlines of Vancouver and Melbourne set the basis for exploration: both ocean and river represent rich history, complex currents, exchange and deep knowledge. It is also a contentious place, a defining factor in increasingly urgent discussions around nationhood, access, jurisdictional boundaries and climate change. As we seek to revisit, explore and nurture histories of the foreshore, we also seek to provide a space and a support network for artists to interrogate and expand our understanding of the land and waters around us.

Artists Salia Joseph (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Snuneymuxw) and Orene Askew (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh) participated in this 4-week exploratory sound-based exchange with Maya Hodge (Lardil & Yangkaal) and Jarra Steel (Boonwurrung & Wemba Wemba) from September 27th-October 24th, 2021. Learn more about the artists here.

Click here to watch a captioned recording of the final event and artwork presentation, which took place online on November 19th, 2021.

Tidal Volume is presented by grunt gallery and The Blue Cabin Floating Artist Residency (Vancouver, CA) in collaboration with Footscray Community Arts Centre (Melbourne, AU).

Funded by the generous support of the Australia Council for the Arts and the Canada Council for the Arts.

An upstander is a person who takes action in defense of those who are targeted for systemic or individual harm or injustice. An upstander is the opposite of a bystander. Upstanders confront injustice in many ways, some more public than others. Activists can be upstanders, so is a child who protects someone next to her at lunch from being bullied. Policy makers who ensure new laws are equitable are upstanders. Educators who ensure every child feels welcome in their schools are upstanders.
You can be an upstander. We all can be upstanders.

Topic: Twenty-fourth session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

SPECIAL EVENT: One Earth, One Sky, One Home: Connecting Ancestral Knowledge to Future Generations.

More Details:
From the islands of the Rapa Nui people to the vast Great Plains of the Blackfoot and the semi-arid savanna of the Juǀʼhoansi in Namibia, this gathering brings together reflections and experiences from diverse ecosystems around the world. It explores how the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples can be effectively applied in the face of today's challenges.

This event aims to raise awareness about the challenges Indigenous communities face, including cultural preservation, intergenerational transmission, collective rights, environmental sustainability, and peace. Together, participants will collectively build a strong statement emphasizing the importance of acknowledging, respecting, and honoring the roots, cultures, traditions, spirituality, and rights of Indigenous Peoples, fostering global harmony and understanding.
Interpretation provided in English and Spanish. Light refreshments will be served. Speakers include:

Tsamkgao Leon and Cwi Gerrie (Ju'hoansi People, Nya Nyae Conservancy, Namibia)

Ariki Mika Tepano Martin (Presidente de la Comunidad Indígena Ma'u Henua), Fernandez Paoa, Claudia Andrea and Benjamín Andrés Ilabaca de la Puente (Rapa Nui People, Rapa Nui Island)

This exchange is especially relevant due to its collective, multi-regional, and global nature. It aligns closely with the theme of the UNPFII 24th session, "Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples within United Nations Member States and the United Nations system, including identifying good practices and addressing challenges." By bringing together diverse Indigenous perspectives from around the world, the event provides a unique space to share experiences, highlight successful initiatives, and discuss the challenges of putting the Declaration into practice at local, national, and international levels.
