The Kiln Project

Sep 2021 – Mar 2022

various locations [Galiano Island, BC]

Screened at the South Galiano Community Hall, this film by Brenda Kent Colina was choreographed and performed by Shion Skye Carter with music by Bradley Kurushima [Prince Shima]. This project came about thanks to LEÑA Founder Dayna Szyndrowski, who, working with Dance West Network, asked us to collaborate on a call for projects for a dance film produced on Galiano. We were thrilled to assist with the call and curation, as well as acting as a community liaison. Huge thanks to community member Steve Nemtin for sharing his knowledge on the subject of Japanese pit kilns in BC. This film premiered online December 10, 2021, with an in-person screening on March 19, 2022.

We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.

We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
