Unceded Voices is the 2015 edition of Decolonizing Street Art, an anticolonial street artist convergence with two goals: to develop a network of solidarity and support between Indigenous street artists and to promote anti-colonial resistance through diverse street art interventions.

For a schedule of the Unceded Voices events and interventions leading up to the Closing Party, check out the Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/970129306351884
or the website: www.decolonizingstreetart.com

The closing party is also helping to raise funds to bring people from Tiotia:ke (“Montreal”) and environs to Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, “Ontario” (Anishinaabe-ojibwe territory) for this year’s edition of the Toxic Tour.

Every year, grassroots organization Aamjiwnaang and Sarnia Against Pipelines organzes Toxic Tours to raise awareness about the so-called Chemical Valley surrounding the Aamjiwnaang First Nation reserve and the impacts of resource extraction on their community. Aamjiwnaang is surrounded by 40% of Canada's petrochemical industry, with refineries such as Suncor, Shell, DOW Chemicals, and Lanxess as neighbours (among many others).

A bus is being organized to bring Montrealers to the Tour in order to build interprovincial solidarity with Aamjiwnaang and help take down the Chemical Valley.

Accessibility info will be announced shortly.
