About
Have you ever wondered how it all began? Where do we come from and where we are heading? A Story of Creation is 3 days of distinct events with akin enactment in music, dance, and play from the stable of Ethnik Festivals.
From the 23rd to the 25th of September, audiences all over Alberta and the rest of Canada will be taken on a creative expose through 3 layers of artistic expressions with representation from diverse ethnicities across Alberta.
We are creating an experience like never before for our community during Alberta Culture Days Celebration 2022. Attendees coming will have the opportunity to see these events live by paying what they can or donating to our organization in any capacity. Mask mandate will not be enforced but we advise attendees to wear a mask. For more information or sponsorship, please write us via [email protected]
A Cultural Trilogy is a fictional cultural expression/ production from Ethnik Festivals. A concept by Lanre Ajayi with support from Leah Nicholson and Evans Yellow Old Woman. Original stories from Trefferry Deerfoot and Lanre Ajayi, Artistic and Creative Director, Ethnik Festivals in collaboration with other local creative minds in Calgary.
It focuses on different aspects of artistic styles of expression by individual artists. The styles range from diverse music performances, choreographing/ dance presentations, stage play/ acting, Afro-Canadian craft/art exhibitions, etc. There is more in us than meets the eye. Made by us for us.
