E-mail: bellabella87[at]hotmail.com or amaikuda[at]gmail.com

R3 is an artist collective focused on Resistance to colonial oppression, the attainment of Reparations for colonized peoples, and the Reclamation of Indigenous worldviews and ways of life. Our objective is to raise funds and awareness for decolonization work, which encompasses all the efforts of colonized peoples to heal and rebuild communities, recreate sustainable and self-sustaining grassroots economies, reclaim land and resources as well as spirituality, his/herstory and other aspects of culture eroded by colonization.

R3 programs feature a diverse range of socially conscious artists in terms of genre, stlye, and identity. Our events are multi-media showcases, incorporating film, music, dance, visual art, shadow puppetry and theatre, and showcase many local talents. We strive to create accessible spaces for disabled people and intend to bring on board ASL interpreters. Our goal is to draw in a wide audience and enough money to really effect change in our communities. We welcom involvement from UofT students and community members.
