The McCord Stewart Museum, in collaboration with the Festival Afropolitain Nomade, invites you to a roundtable discussion on the creative process behind the festival’s artistic residency.

An Immersion into the World of "Sacred Sisterhood"

This event offers a unique opportunity to explore Sacred Sisterhood, a multidisciplinary artistic project celebrating the deep spiritual connections between women through dance, music, photography, video, and an immersive installation.

A Dialogue on Traditions and Ancestral Knowledge

The artists-in-residence, Natasha Kanapé Fontaine (Canada) and Louise Abomba (Cameroon), will discuss the central themes of their work: sisterhood, traditional rites, and ancestral knowledge. They will share insights into their creative process, which incorporates the cultural practices of participants from diverse backgrounds to shape this immersive experience.
