Mission & Mandate
urban ink production society (urban ink productions) was founded by Metis artist Marie Clements as a First Nations theatre company in 2001. Now under the Direction of Diane Roberts, the company creates, develops and produces aboriginal and diverse cultural works of theatre, writing and film, utilizing an approach which embraces and strives for the combination and integration of artistic disciplines, including different forms of theatre, story-telling, dance, music, video and multi-media. urban ink productions seeks to create new works which celebrate and bring together different cultural and artistic perspectives and inter-racial experiences.
The objectives of the company are:
| to encourage and support the pursuit of artistic excellence in the development of new aboriginal and diverse cultural works. | ||
| to encourage and collaborate with emerging aboriginal artists and artists of colour to develop work that speaks for cultural integrity and a form that is self-reliant in its vision. | ||
| to encourage and support collaboration between aboriginal and racialized individuals, companies and organizations demonstrating these similar interests. |
Our goal has always been to champion Aboriginal and minoritized artists to take control of not only their voice and visions, but the process and integrity in which their work is brought to an audience.
urban ink has landed and is giving voice to a new cosmology; one that combines and integrates an eclectic fusion of artistic disciplines with a diverse cultural and artistic perspective.
