Description

The Locals Only publication features Elders, knowledge-keepers, youth, artists, and project partners in a series of contributions that enact and expand upon the core elements of the project spanning from 2017 to 2019. From recipes to plays, poems to illustrations, essays to interviews, local histories to national reflections, artist projects to how-to’s on foraging and preserving food; this publication serves as a record of the activity from Locals Only and a set of propositions for what could come next.

With contributions by: Derya Akay, Vivienne Bessette, Julia Feyrer, Cate Francis, CHEP Good Food Inc., Hamilton Artists Inc., Meagan Hong, Vanessa Kwan, Justin Langlois, Modern Fuel, Curtis Peeteetuce, Dr. Priscilla Settee, Holly Schmidt, Chef Jenni Schrenk, Salem Sharp, this town is small, Kurtis Wilson, Kevin Wesaquate, Jireh Wong, Untitled Art Society (UAS).

This book is published as part of Locals Only, developed by Justin Langlois, curated by Tarin Dehod (AKA artist-run), organized with Yvonne Hanson (CHEP Good Food Inc.), spanning April 2017 to June 2019. Locals Only operated as an Elder-guided, artist-designed, and youth-coordinated mobile programming space, serving as a platform for intercultural dialogue and intergenerational capacity-building by sharing traditional knowledge around food, hospitality, and community development in Saskatoon’s core neighbourhoods.

Locals Only is one of the 200 exceptional projects funded in part through the Canada Council for the Arts’ New Chapters program. With this $35 million investment, the Council supports the creation and sharing of the arts in communities across Canada.

Soft cover, perfect-bound, colour.
