    A young Indigenous boy stands on a unicycle with his hands on the saddle in a snowy landscape in Northern Canada.

    The program features 15 short films selected by Catherine Boivin, an Atikamekw artist from Wemotaci, who served as curator-mentor to two young curators, Alexandra B. Dominique, an Innu from Mashteuiatsh, and Myriam Grenier, an Innu from Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam. The short films address themes such as identity and diversity in Indigenous cultures.

    Ambassador Christina Brière will be there to introduce the short films and answer questions from the audience.
