Urban Ink Urban Ink uplifts Indigenous and diverse voices through storytelling and performance. Always was, always will be, sacred Indigenous land.

Since 2001, Urban Ink – along with our circle of artists – have broken barriers through stimulating story, performance, and media. As we look ahead to our future, we strive to continue an Indigenized practice that centres Indigenous and diverse voices, making space for our communities across Turtle Island. OUR MISSION
Urban Ink uplifts Indigenous and diverse voices through storytelling and perform

ance. OUR VALUES
Community: We create relationships rooted in inclusivity, diversity, and reciprocity. Integrity: We strive to be humble, accountable, and truthful, and encourage care and respect in our circle. Bravery: We honour the courageous creators, change makers and storytellers who bravely share their voices and ground us in stories of who we have always been and who we could become. OUR LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge and pay our respects to the territory that we travel through and share our stories on. To the Traditional Owners, Elders, Ancestors, and Young Leaders of these territories: We acknowledge, with full respect, the strength of Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) and communities who are continuing to practice culture, connecting and reconnecting to land; and we acknowledge the power and excellence of Indigenous peoples and communities fighting to protect and look after Land, Community, Language and Lore, in the face of ongoing colonial interruptions and cultural genocide. In particular we acknowledge and pay our respects to the sovereign peoples of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl’ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) on whose unceded land Urban Ink is based.
