Artists Conversation: Love Songs to End Colonization

Event Description

Meet us at Open Space for an Artists Conversation (and singing) as part of a multi-day collaboratively organized exhibition. Artists Peter Morin and Jimmie Kilpatrick, joined by project tour dad, Tomas Jonsson, discuss their ongoing artistic collaboration, Love Songs to End Colonization, a participatory karaoke project founded in kindness, joy, futurity, and engaging a collective voice through singing.

Repurposing popular love songs, this project critiques, confronts, and dismantles the historical notions and the current presence of settler colonialism and utilizes karaoke as a methodology for social change. Listeners are invited to perform a song, sing-along, clap, dance, or simply witness and soak in love and music to dismantle colonialism, one love song at a time.
