Debaser operates on the stolen land of the Anishinaabeg Algonquin people in so-called Ottawa.
As a non-Indigenous-led arts organization that presents work by Indigenous artists and other artists of colour, and which benefits from funding from the Canadian government that continues to deprioritize access to clean drinking water for many Indigenous communities, we at Debaser strive to remain mindful of how ongoing colonial processes position us in relation to the artists we support and the work we present.
We also want to acknowledge the building that Debaser and Club SAW are based in, the Arts Court, is the former Ottawa Courthouse, right next to the former Ottawa Jail. While we acknowledge the dark history of these buildings and the oppressive connotations of prisons and courts for Indigenous and Black community members, we also thank Indigenous and Black artists and community members for reclaiming this space and filling it with art and performance that have the potential to transform and educate the community.
