With today being National Indigenous Peoples Day, this coming week presents the perfect opportunity to support the world’s first Indigenous Fringe Festival (NIFF) happening right here in Nogojiwanong Peterborough: A week-long lineup of performances from a variety of Indigenous artists.
NIFF is an Indigenous-led project that focuses on training and building up a huge swathe of Indigenous artists from all across Turtle-Island. Not only focused on platforming Indigenous artists, NIFF, alongside it’s Knowledge Sharing Project, shares “an extensive commitment to the development and transmittal of cultural knowledge and creative practice.” Artists are given the opportunity to attend skill-building workshops and receive mentorship from either Drew Hayden-Taylor (a well-known and prolific author, playwright and journalist from Curve Lake First Nation), Muriel Miguel (Founder and Artistic Director of Spiderwoman Theater), or Deborah Ratelle (the Managing Director of Two Spirit Productions and consultant with Spiderwoman Theater). With such a star-studded group supporting behind the scenes, you can only imagine the talent of those planning to perform!
NIFF begins tonight, June 21, with a free online Facebook Live event at 6:00 p.m. Tonight, organizers will introduce the festival and the performances that will take place from Wednesday, June 23 to Sunday, June 27. Hosting a live drive-in performance experience on our very own Trent campus and featuring folk-singers, comedians, slam-poets, storytellers, educational performers, and dancers there’s something for everyone at this festival!
Make sure to check out the performance schedule, artist bios, and the in-depth principles of practice all available on NIFF's website, and make sure to grab your tickets here!

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
"Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system."
