Unceded Voices was the second annual Decolonizing Street Art convergence for indigenous women & WOC. So much love & respect for all the participating artists, special thanks to @cam_mtl for making it all happen. Here’s a snippet of our first episode! 🎥: @maxime.faure 💕 #DSA2015 (at Tiotiake)

Third and final install of the week. This piece is at the entrance of a street called Avenue Coloniale (Colonial Avenue- the first one was on ChristopherColumbus St. I kid you not) you can't make that up! We mixed in a piece by Lianne Charlie (Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation) and Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde (Kahnawake) which reads Tiotia:ke the Mohawk name for "Montreal" which means where the currents meet. I am also repping Jesus Barraza's Tierra Indigena in this wheat paste mural. #decolonizingstreetart #DSA2015 #aXicanainMohawkTerritory #indigenousartists #streetart #DignidadRebelde (at Tiotia:ke)

So happy to finish my contribution to the mural wall here at the Decolonizing Street art convergence. This was a community effort filled with love. ❤️This piece also bring in a contribution from Mohawk artist Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde who gave me a phrase to add to my piece and she added Aiako'nikonhraién:ta'ne' which means to come to understand. #aXicanainMohawkTerritory #decolonizingstreetart #DSA2015 #DignidadRebelde #uncededvoices (at Tiotia:ke)

Things are moving along well at the Anti-Colonial Street Art Convergence. Everything is about public art work and relationships. We work best as a team. This is a collaborative wall with @littlesalmonwoman and @sw_rm as well as a whole team of amazing human beings with many talents and huge hearts. I am incredibly honored to be here in Tiotai:ke as a visitor in Mowhawk territory. #uncededvoices #DSA2015 #decolonizingstreetart #aXicanainMowhakTerritory (at Tiotiake)
