The Myths That Shape Us is an evening of live art creation and music collaboration inspired by our upcoming production, Prophecy by Jessy Ardern.

In collaboration with sound designer Natanielle Felicitas and local Indigenous artist Jackie Traverse, this event will invite guests to collectively create a painting in tandem with each other and the artists.

Through a non-verbal conversation about culture, worldviews, and how our ideals leave an impact on the world, the event will remind audiences that there are other ways to be human.

Jackie Traverse

Jacqueline “Jackie” Traverse was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is Ojibway from the Lake St. Martin First Nation. Jackie began drawing as a child and was inspired from a field trip to the Wahsa Gallery when she was 13 years old. It wasn’t until she was 32 years old that she decided to submit a portfolio of her works to the University of Manitoba where she studied Fine Arts and graduated with a diploma in May of 2009.

Jackie Traverse is a multi-disciplined Indigenous artist who works in several mediums from oil and acrylic paintings to mixed media, stop-motion animation and sculpture.

Jackie draws her inspiration from her indigenous culture and her experiences as a native woman living in Winnipeg. Today, as an artist, Jackie does a lot of work in the community. Her work is very women centered. Through her art she expresses her ideas and opinions while striving to inspire dialogue on addressing her people’s social issues.
