ENE is delighted to announce that the Fall 2025 residency will be curated by Ivanie Aubin-Malo, a Wolastoq and Québécoise choreographer, performer, and curator based in L’Islet (QC) in Wolastokuk. Driven by a desire to create a moment of engagement with art to reconnect with language, territory, and history, this residency season is exclusively open to Indigenous artists from the Wabanaki Confederacy, including the W8banaki, Panawàhpskewi, Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkatiyik and Mi’kmaq nations. Together, these nations encompass the current territories of southern Quebec, the Maritimes, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, as well as Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
