Keilani Rose, an award-winning filmmaker, rising DJ, classically and culturally trained dancer, born and raised in Prince George on Lheidli T’enneh territory, is the guest speaker of a Sharing Circle on Oct. 22 at 2 p.m. at Knox Performance Centre or through Zoom.
Canadian artists for Reconciliation & Education (C.A.R.E.) is hosting Sharing Circles to offer the opportunity to listen to a guest speaker’s story for their voices to be heard, respected and valued. They offer everyone the chance to learn more about Indigenous peoples and each session features an Indigenous guest who will share their personal story and knowledge about Indigenous issues.
“My work in the film industry as a writer and actor is inspired by the hope to honour the diverse voices of my BIPOC community, striving for greater representation, sovereign stories and Indigenous justice,” Rose said on her website.
Unstoppable - even in the face of a global pandemic and after surviving a nearly fatal shooting in the streets of Hollywood, Rose immersed herself in writing, creating, developing and producing, emerging with a collection of original works, said her website information.
When Rose is not behind the camera, she dedicates her efforts towards a climate justice/Indigenous justice campaign, LHEIDLITOO (Two Rivers Water); working in partnership with Autumn Peltier’s team advocating for the protection and reclamation of Indigenous people’s Sacred Waters.
