Director, writer and actor, Émilie Monnet's work is rooted in interdisciplinary and inclusive creative processes. She founded ONISHKA in 2011 to forge artistic links at the intersection of theater, performance and media arts. And also to generate nourishing conversations between Indigenous artists of all disciplines and peoples. Meaning “wake up” in Anishinaabemowin, ONISHKA is rooted in the idea that artistic creation is a catalyst for social transformation and that it allows us to question how the realities and struggles of Indigenous peoples are perceived.
