Sing Fires of Justice: Exploring the Impact of a Community-based Music and Social Justice Tradition
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
In a paper presented at the Festival 500 Symposium: The Power of Song, 2011, we concluded that through singing we are moved…mobilized into an action that advances our community and make clear the place of privileged people within Canadian society.Through Sing Fires of Justice, we explored a model where soulful, relevant, respectful and inclusive community is created, and lives of value and quality are cultivated and promoted.The eighth annual multi-faith, cross-cultural community choral event known as Sing Fires of Justice took place October 4-5, 2013 with a focus on the "Stolen Sisters," the more than 600 missing or murdered women of Canada's aboriginal communities.As people entered the beautiful downtown Lutheran church, the smell of burning sweetgrass denoted that in this formal Christian worship space, a special sacred place was being created through the traditional aboriginal ceremony of smudging.One enters a place decorated with Christian iconography expecting to hear the organ playing.On this occasion, the entering music was provided by Mino Ode Kwewak N'gamowak (Ojibway for "Good Hearted Women Singers"), a drumming circle of aboriginal women, singing, dancing, and drumming the traditions of gathering and welcoming.Our society faces unprecedented economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges.Sing Fires of Justice seeks to shine a light in dark places in order to raise public awareness and mobilize action.This is done by building a choral community comprised of university students, church and other faith based singers, and the public at large.Paul Friere's work notes that all around the world communities of oppressed peoples are finding their voice and seeking ways of liberation towards human flourishing.(Friere, 1986, 30 -32).Sing Fires provides a forum where the voice of the oppressed is raised and thus, together with the music, the event provides a firsthand opportunity to innovatively turn some of the current societal challenges into opportunities, with the goal to improve conditions, and little by little create a value base in society that seeks peace and justice in everyday life.On this most recent occasion, the internationally respected elder, writer, and orator, Lee Maracle, was our guest.Maracle is one of the most prolific aboriginal authors in Canada and a recognized authority on issues pertaining to aboriginal people and aboriginal literature.She is an award-winning poet, novelist, performance storyteller, scriptwriter, actor and keeper/mythmaker among the Stó:lō people from British Columbia.Accompanied by a projected slide show of images of the "stolen sisters," Maracle's spoken text, framed by musical selections from the massed choir and congregational singing, provided a multi-sensory impact on the participants.Our research explores the impact of such events on the choristers, organizers, and to some degree, those who come to witness and participate in the annual public gathering.Based upon earlier research on what it means to sing in a community choir (Willingham, 2001) this study probed more deeply into the values of combining choral singing with a peace and justice cause.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
