The Power of Native Plants 

By: Jude Benoit

Join Sacred Threads with Jude Benoit for a guided walk at the Geo Centre, exploring the benefits and risks of Newfoundland and Labrador’s native plants. Through a Two-Eyed Seeing approach, Jude will weave together traditional knowledge and scientific insight, highlighting how changes in these plants reflect shifting climates, while also sharing their edible and medicinal uses. This walk is for learning and conversation only and should not be taken as medical advice or a substitute for professional care.

The Art of Photography 
& Natural Print
By: Daniel Griffin

This workshop will teach campers the basics of photography and help participants see and understand the spaces they move through in creative ways. Campers will make chlorophyll prints and create new digital images that speak to them in some way. By then sharing these different kinds of images with each other, whether using a metal/plastic sensor or the leaf of a maple tree, we'll discuss how composed images not only expose features of the changing environments we're part of, but also our own subterranean interests, impulses and passions

Bollywood Jig is breaking new ground with its fusion dance form and diverse complement of dancers from around the world. Founded by artistic director Sanchita Chakraborty, Bollywood Jig has been making their mark on the province's dance scene. Through the vision of troupe founder and leader Sanchita, Bollywood Jig aims to dispel stereotypes and embrace diversity through its choreographic messages.

Bollywood is the film industry of India that produces most numbers of movies a year and Jig is our own provincial unique dance style. As its name implies, Bollywood Jig is a fusion dance troupe that draws from both South Asian and North American influences. Bollywood Jig's message of respecting your roots and celebrating new influences is clearly one that resonates with the troupe's members and audiences alike.

We acknowledge that Ktaqamkuk is the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Mi'kmaq peoples who have taken care of this land for centuries. We also wish to acknowledge the Inuit and Innu of Labrador. We acknowledge that the white settler colonial state has been built through Indigenous genocide and land theft, the enslavement and labour theft of people of African descent through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the fifteen thousand Chinese men who worked under exploitative conditions to build Canada’s first transcontinental railroad, the internment and forced labor of twelve thousand Japanese Canadians, and the thousands of refugees and migrants denied refuge into so-called Canada throughout its history.
