Desde hace 8 años, el Centro Cultural Casa Maíz celebra el Día Internacional de la Mujer representando las luchas, logros y las contribuciones invaluables de las mujeres de nuestra comunidad en la cultura y las artes. La conmemoración de este día nos recuerda que históricamente las mujeres, hemos tenido que reclamar espacios negados y reservados para otros; entre ellos, el espacio de las artes. A tomar las artes es el evento que Casa Maíz organiza para que las mujeres de la comunidad Latino-Canadiense tomemos el escenario, reivindicando nuestras historias y memorias corporales a través de las artes, poniendo en escena nuestras resistencias, influencias globales y diversas identidades.

For the past eight years, Casa Maíz Cultural Centre has celebrated International Women’s Day to honour the struggles, achievements, and invaluable contributions that the women of our communities have made to the arts and culture. This commemoration reminds us that, historically, as women we have had to reclaim spaces denied us, such as those that allow for the creation and performance of the arts. With Take Up Arts, Casa Maíz organizes an event where Latin-Canadian women take over the stage, asserting our histories and corporal memories through art, staging our resistances, and showcasing our diverse identities and global influence.

Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which Casa Maíz operates. For thousands of years it has been the land of many Nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Today this meeting place is still home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island. This territory is protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampun Belt Covenant, which requires that those who inhabit the land share it peaceably and care for it.
