Topic: This year’s Open Forum theme is REFUGE, Refuge refers to the layers of safety and welcome created in the past centuries on Turtle Island. Waves of both refugees and settlers have found safe haven here and created new spatial relationships with Indigenous peoples. Refuge made in love and beauty, and sometimes, taking the refuge of home from Indigenous peoples.
