In a context fractured by climate and social crises, the public program Everything Still Resonates seeks to center voices that propose alternatives grounded in reciprocity and solidarity. It brings together Indigenous, diasporic, and settler perspectives to share tools for healing, transformation, and resistance. These practices and perspectives reveal the importance of the networks of interdependence that sustain us and an ethic of mutual responsibility: a desire to mend bonds, reaffirm the value of life, and rethink the boundaries between human and non-human, earthly and spiritual.

​

Rooted in a logic of cooperation and network-building, the program is co-created by SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art, Colectiva Polea, the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Intellectual Traditions and Self-Determination, and the Laboratory for Decolonial Art and Research. It is built through dialogue with artists, Indigenous knowledge holders, community actors, researchers, and cultural workers. This expanded collaboration weaves an ecology of knowledges where experiences, affects, and understandings circulate, challenging conventional epistemic hierarchies in favor of situated forms of knowledge that are activated and shared with the public.

Approaching cultural mediation as a space where the political and the poetic meet, the program proposes to reconnect bodies, territories, and narratives. Through workshops, roundtables, gatherings, and performances, it fosters modes of coexistence and invites us to imagine other ways of being and making together. These explorations take shape through embodied practices grounded in listening and attentiveness to one another. They bring together gestures that form a political stance, a way of making world with the world.

Everything Still Resonates refers to a vitality that persists and circulates, to what continues to vibrate despite fractures and silences. The title evokes the resilience of our relationships, our practices, and our histories, as well as what connects us to the contexts we inhabit and to more distant ones where we find echoes and allies.
