Indigenous Representation In the Arts

Watch Now!

Although we are surrounded by the arts and conversations around change, Indigenous representation doesn’t seem to make it to the forefront unless it is tokenized. Host Jace Martin from the Darren Ross Agency is joined by 4 great panelists to talk about the representation that is needed and in the right way. Panelists include Jim Cressman from Invictus Entertainment, Candance Scott-Moore from 50/50 Performing Arts Collective, Matt Maw from Red Music Rising and Elaine Bomberry, a JUNO winner and Promoter.
