Toni-Leah C. Yake (European; Kanien’kehá:ka, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory, Turtle Clan) is a composer-performer residing on xwməθkwəy̓ əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ territories. Her current practice explores connections between land, memories, and embodied response. Informed by dreaming and Kanien’kehá:ka epistemology Yake submerges into liminality with compositional work illuminated by archival recordings, synthesis, and noise.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
