OUR ULTIMATE VISIONTo explore and encourage new and diverse ways of creating works that are inherently non-colonial. To create a more equitable cultural sector, that accurately reflects the world we live in. And to eliminate systemic racism within arts + culture. OUR MISSIONCREATIVES EMPOWERED is a safe and supportive community for artists + creatives who are Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, based in western Canada. We advocate for and represent our members and their needs. We increase professional opportunities for IBPOC talent. We provide empowering and educational resources, events and professional development. We network, collaborate and share with like-minded individuals and organizations across Canada, and worldwide. OUR VALUES + We must be empowered to be ourselves and to create. + We are the creative talent that does exist. + How we engage with one another is just as important as the work we create. + Our presence is a right, and needs no apology, nor an explanation. + Our stories + cultures are ours to share, and best represented by us. + Creating spaces free of racial + unconscious bias, frees up our creative energy, and empowers our health. + Dismantling negative stereotypes of IBPOC professionals is essential. + Collaborating with allies should always be empowering – for everyone involved. + True inclusivity must be authentic – not performative or tokenistic – and accountability is a prerequisite.
