OUR MISSION

Urban Ink uplifts Indigenous and diverse voices through storytelling and performance.

OUR STORY

For over 20 years, Urban Ink, and its circle of artists have broken barriers, through stimulating story, performance, and media. As we look ahead to the next 20 years to come, we strive to continue an Indigenized practice that centres Indigenous and diverse voices, making space for our communities across Turtle Island.

OUR VALUES

Community: We create relationships rooted in inclusivity, diversity, and reciprocity.
Integrity: We strive to be humble, accountable, and truthful, and encourage care and respect in our circle.
Bravery: We honour the courageous creators, change makers and storytellers who bravely share their
voices and ground us in stories of who we have always been and who we could become.

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the territory that we travel through and share our stories on. In particular we acknowledge and pay our respects to the sovereign peoples of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl’ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) on whose unceded land Urban Ink is based.
Always was, always will be, sacred Indigenous land.
