ARTS2U: Focusing on live broadcasts this summer!

ARTCAST pilot project will be a series of live broadcasts taking place in August and September that will showcase Quebec artists performing in small venues.

The initiative will undertake a comparative analysis of services that offer solid options for artists to create high quality broadcasts. Documentation on best practices and “how-to” guides will be shared in webinars and workshops with artists. The goal is to inform Quebec creators and offer improved opportunities for excellence in independent live broadcasting. As well, Quebec venues who engage with ARTSCAST will become knowledge centres for independent arts broadcasting.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
