- **Event Name**: Coastal Dance Festival 2026—Artist Sharing Series
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the Artist Sharing Series: Re-envisioning Relationships in Respect of Lived Practices as part of the Coastal Dance Festival at MOA.

Dancers of Damelahamid, in partnership with MOA and the Anvil Centre, present the 19th annual Coastal Dance Festival. The Festival is a celebration of the stories, songs and dances of the Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast with guest national and international artists.

In the Artist Sharing Series, artists will share their processes and practices by way of discourse, movement, song, story, and multimedia. Re-envisioning Relationships in Respect of Lived Practices looks at decolonizing existing relationships with spaces such as MOA’s galleries and collections through song and dance, as well as reshaping the lens through which dance regalia and masks are perceived to better understand these art pieces as lived practice. 

The discourse will address Indigenizing spaces by asserting ways of knowing that are embedded in Indigenous song and dance, as well as preparing oneself for active witnessing to reshape the lens through which Indigenous arts are acknowledged. 

The Artist Sharing Series is an opportunity to actively learn about Indigenous dance through the vast histories and stories of the Indigenous artists and communities represented at the festival.
