The Writers Room

The Writers Room series presents opportunities for emerging and established Indigenous writers’ readings of written, traditional and oral storytelling. Established performers include, Tantoo Cardinal and Cliff Cardinal, among others.

The Writers Room serves Indigenous writers with professional development and a reading series. We present one to three main acts to read their work, participate in talkbacks, interviews with Q&A, and workshops. We also have an open mic section where anyone can read and share.

Talkbacks and Q&A sessions engage audiences and prompt conversations that deepen their understanding of the writer’s work. These discussions stimulate writers with new ideas and perspectives and foster deeper connections to their audiences.
Writers Room also offers storytelling, poetry and writing workshops hosted by writers such as Lee Maracle, Jace Martin, Wabs WhiteBird, Isaac Murdoch, Tantoo Cardinal and Duke Redbird.

We build community with the houseless by bringing the Writers Room performances to the park, workshops, and feasts.
