The performance-based installation This time will be different (TTWBD) denounces Canadian government discourse on Indigenous people and takes a critical look at the “national reconciliation industry.” From one inquiry to the next, from the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has anything really changed in the relationship between the Government of Canada and this land’s first inhabitants? This installation and accompanying performance are the creation of interdisciplinary artists Emilie Monnet and performer and choreographer Lara Kramer.
TTWBD supports the connection for children and artists learning and dialoguing about issues pertaining to the Royal Commission and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The purpose is to further reflect and think critically about the impact commissions and national enquiries have had and continue to have on Indigenous people in Canada.
