Gathering demonstrates reconciliation through the art of writing

VANCOUVER
Renae Morriseau has a distinct presence, and she recently captivated one audience and sent them home with plenty of food for thought on her last night as StoryTeller in Residence for Vancouver Public Libraries’ (VPL).
For her last night she hosted Art of Reconciliation, which saw a group of writers share their views on reconciliation in Canada, with regard to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations.
“It was a good fit for me when Michelle Sylliboy, who was my cohost for the evening, said she wanted to do an Aboriginal writers’ collective. What she wanted to do, and what I wanted to were similar, in getting writers to write about reconciliation,” said Morriseau.
“It was a culmination of my four-months with VPL… But it was an artistic practice I didn’t cover… the writers and novelists,” she said.

Director Renae Morriseau brings Taran Kootenhayoo's comedic take on race to the stage in White Noise
There’s a sadness that still lingers over Vancouver’s arts and Indigenous communities dating back to the start of 2021. That year opened with news of a terrible loss. Taran Kootenhayoo, a brilliant 27-year-old playwright and actor, had died on New Year’s Eve.

But because his death occurred in the midst of the pandemic, it was hard for those who loved him in Vancouver to gather in large numbers to pay their respects.
So from April 16 to May 1, the Firehall Arts Centre and Savage Society will honour Kootenhayoo’s memory by presenting his play, White Noise, which was shown as a workshop production at the Talking Stick Festival in 2019.
“It’s heartbreaking, but this is probably the best way we can celebrate his life that I can think of,” Savage Society artistic director Kevin Loring tells the Straight by phone. “Many of us are still sort of reeling from that tragedy, but this work will live on.”
The Savage Society works with many young Indigenous artists.
Loring, also director of Indigen
