ONWA Poetry Night 2021
It’s been a couple years since the last ONWA Poetry Night, so I was very excited to be able to capture it once again. This year, it took place at The Chanterelle, which is one of the nicest locations in Thunder Bay, especially for an event like this.

From guest poets, to musical performance and of course some amazing food, the evening was an astounding success. I’m already looking forward to next year’s event.
ONWA Poetry Night - Strong Hands Stop Violence
This past Sunday ONWA held a very special poetry night in an effort to raise awareness of Violence Against Women in support of the United Nations International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women. My task was to capture the event in photos which included musical guests - Melinda a Melissa Henderson and of course Audra Santa.

Along with the musical performances, elder Al Hunter opened the evening and also contributed a poem of his own. There were also local poets, storytellers and spoken word artists sharing the work too. Even though I was taking photos during the evening, it was very moving to here the stories and poems by local people. It's amazing to see so much talent.
I also had a small Photo Booth set up where I was able to capture some of the attendees. ONWA put on such an amazing event, and I really can't wait until the next event takes place.
