WHO IS VIRAGO NATION?
Featured in BBC News from our show at the 2019 Talking Stick Festival.
We are a collective of Indigenous artists creating performance through burlesque, theatre, song and spoken word as well as workshops, and community networks rematriating Indigenous sexuality.
Founded in May 2016, Virago Nation is on a mission to reclaim Indigenous sexuality from the toxic effects of colonization. Through humour, seduction, pop culture and politics they will show that Indigenous women will not be confined to the colonial virgin-whore dichotomy but will design a new dynamic and multi-faceted sexual identity rooted in their own desires.
This is our reconciliation.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Join Virago Nation, Turtle Island’s award-winning, all-Indigenous burlesque troupe, as they celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21st. Witness the rematriation of Indigenous sexuality via stunning live guest performances and a screening of their must-see documentary, The Voices of Virago Nation: A Docu-Strip.
