piyêsiwak wâhkôhtowin / thunderbird’s kinship by Moe Clark

Old words create new worlds.

piyêsiwak wâhkôhtowin invites us inside the dream lodge to remember piyêsiwak (thunderbirds) great migration to skyworld. piyêsiwak wâhkôhtowin is a prayer, singing open sovereign sites of futurity which animate the flux and fluidity of existence. Centring nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree language) as a generative transmission for far into the future generations, this dream song crosses listening thresholds to highlight trans*dimensional kinship relations with beyond human relatives. A mirror is sung between earth and sky, reflecting the gifts both piyêsiwak and 2Spirit kin embody as guardians between realms. We call on prophecy and the vital importance of nipiy (water) in this future realm, layering source recordings of nipiy with têwêhikan (drum), sisikwan (rattle), and voice.

PROGRAM 2

Lorri Clark & Erin Gee ↓

As We Are by Lorri Clark

As We Are, is an immersive, sound-based group experience that creates a container for participants to engage with their inner landscape and the surrounding environment through spatialized sound. This piece invites participants to breathe, acknowledge their present emotions, and navigate these feelings within a shared energetic field, fostering both self-reflection and communal connectivity.

In Bloom by Erin Gee

In Bloom is a guided meditation inspired by ecological burial practices: where the body is intentionally decomposed by natural forces. Thinking through sound as a portal to materialisms beyond our human senses, the voice of the performer is a psychological anchor, guiding the listener through the simultaneous care and brutal indifference of nature. The voice you are listening to is a pink-collar worker of death and after-care, and she takes great pride in her work.
