For the first time this phenomenal solo performance work by Olivia Shortt, widely performed in other places, will be enjoyed live in our city. A sensory-dense, stream-of-conscious storytelling piece that switches back and forth between saxophone, voice, and video feed, Makwa explores the unexpected rage of living inside of yourself and being alone with your thoughts. Free event. It’s always exciting when we can welcome a really cool artist to town for multiple events, and it’s doubly exciting that Olivia Shortt will be appearing for the first time in ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ Amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (Edmonton). Self-described as a noisemaker, video artist, curator, and troublemaker, Shortt’s work is inspired by their love of camp, drag, and gender expression and its relation to Indigeneity. Other events: Friday, April 4, 7:30 PM: Olivia Shortt, Matthew Cardinal, and Mustafa Rafiq Saturday, April 5, 2 pm: Olivia Shortt Artist Talk
