m o r e . a b o u t


We have been working on a community arts project known as “MAWADISIDIWAG” which means “they visit each other” in the Native American language here in Detroit.

We have an arts installation series we do each month that features live performances from local artists and uplifting their messages and creative musical practices while honoring each one's spirit as we visit each other and create.

Multimedia Artist Mark Francis () and Film Director & Photographer Eddy Garcia () with creative direction from ishkode (). They have teamed up to produce a live performance installation at the ADZKN Artist House in the attic studio, medicine garden stage, and creative locations inside/outside the space.

This live performance series features 3 artists each month performing a live piece of their work and also includes a gathering of ADZKN Music's artist network for further connections & collaborations through food, art ,music, culture, spirit, and community.

MORE ABOUT
M A W A D I S I D I W A G :

"LIVE FROM THE ADZKN ARTIST HOUSE" is a collaboration with the MAWADISIDIWAG community arts project curated by The Aadizookaan.

“MAWADISIDIWAG” (mah-wah-dih-sid-e-wahg), which translates to "they visit each other" and is one of the original native american languages in the Detroit area known as Anishinaabemowin from the Anishinaabe people.

The MAWADISIDIWAG project seeks to share Detroit stories in the tradition of indigenous communities through the art of visiting people and places by using multimedia tools that travel to communities in a mobile storytelling unit.

With this special series, we are uplifting the MAWADISIDIWAG project by supporting local and emerging artists in the Waawiiyatanong area (the land before it was colonized into Detroit) from the hood to international audiences.

This series helps build our collective stories through the elements of music, film and design as a way to build connections of humanity and connect the dots that improve the quality of life through the art of visiting and community organizing while also honoring our next generations coming to mother earth.

Let’s get to the future.
