Indian Summer Festival

Indian Summer Festival is a contemporary multi-arts festival that takes place in Vancouver every July, centering and amplifying South Asian artists in conversation with local and global artistic counterparts. Conjuring the Future, was guest-curated by Jarrett Martineau, founder of Indigenous new music label RPM, and host of ‘Reclaimed’ on CBC.

Martineau took a global approach to Indigeneity and solidarity, asking: What does an interweaving of South Asian, Indigenous, Black, and Queer stories of love and resistance look like? How does this inform a new and exciting musical landscape for Canada? By supporting costs related to artist fees/expenses, FACTOR ensured strong representation of incredible racialized emerging artists from across Canada.
