This year’s edition features Portia Elan (Homebound), Tayari Jones (Kin), Canisia Lubrin (Bright Machine), Harriet Alida Lye (Motherclown), Joss Richard (Let’s Kiss and Tell), and Tanya Talaga (The Knowing and the documentary film Ni-Naadamaadiz).

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta District 6, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
