Land Acknowledgement
Truth and Reconciliation is more than words. They must be equaled with action. As a means of acknowledging the land and people where we are privileged to live and work, we sought out the wisdom of Lynn Gehl, an Algonquin Anishinaabe-kwe from the Ottawa River Valley.

The Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization, along with Burning Passions Theatre, invites Muslim women in the National Capital Region to take part in a number of community consultations on June 20 (English) and a Date to be announced (French and English) as part of the development of a new play on gendered Islamophobia. The issues identified in these consultations, facilitated by Dr. Monia Mazigh and Dr. Leila Benhadjoudja, will help inform the content of the English-language play to be performed later this year by community members.
Producing a play about and featuring Muslim women confronting discrimination is a powerful way of putting a human face on a crisis that too often gets reduced to statistics.
Each discussion will last 2 hours. Snacks and refreshments will be served.
This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
