April 28, 2018 - Cam offered me a guided visit of the street art created during Unceded Voices 2017. As she spoke about her work as an artist and as an event coordinator, she discussed how everyday walking might be enriched for those who encounter these works made by Indigenous artists and artists of color.

REFLECTIONS TO WALK WITH
Where you walk, is there visible presence of Indigenous cultures and languages?
Do you see your culture represented in the street? Or do you feel invisible?
Do you dream about transforming your city or the places where you walk? Are there ways for you to make these dreams come true?
