SUMMARY:Stories In Ink
DESCRIPTION:Experience Stories In Ink: Live Edition — a captivating fusion of art and performance that transforms the way stories are told. This intimate tattoo performance is something this city has never seen before\, join the multi-disciplinary madness of Lucille Giwa as they take us on a journey through time\, craft and culture. \n\n\n\nGrounded in the reclamation of the black body\, Lucille will tattoo three dynamic artists — Nyana\, Yanaminah\, and Aurel Pressat — while engaging them in intimate conversations that explore their artistry\, identity\, and the stories that shape them. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE GUESTS \n\n\n\nYanaminah Thullah\, Aurel Pressat\, and Nyana Ntwari are the three dynamic creatives whose practices intertwine art\, identity and diasporic experience. \n\n\n\nYanaminah Thullah is a Toronto-born multidisciplinary storyteller\, curator\, writer\, and public speaker of Sierra-Leonean and Liberian descent. Rooted in her lived experiences and a background in International Relations\, Thullah’s work explores world-building as a form of liberation. Her creative practice is dedicated to deconstructing systemic barriers\, demystifying migrant-diaspora relations\, and amplifying narratives of community resilience and transformation. \n\n\n\nAurel Pressat Irigukunze\, an award-winning Kenyan-born actor of Burundian descent\, has been performing on stage and screen since childhood. Raised in Ottawa\, Pressat is a proudly queer local  icon whose charisma and advocacy resonate from coast to coast and beyond. Equally at home on camera or in heels\, Aurel continues to expand the boundaries of storytelling\, blending performance\, visibility\, and unapologetic self-expression. \n\n\n\nNyana Ntwari\, based in Ottawa\, is a Burundian queer femme artist\, performer\, and devoted ‘life enjoyer’. Deeply inspired by the interplay between her Blackness and Queerness\, Ntwari is an active force in Ottawa’s Kiki Ballroom scene and Afro-queer party spaces. As a co-founder of The Touch Grass Kiki collective\, she merges artistic expression with community-building\, creating safer and more joyful spaces for queer Black and Afro-diasporic identities to thrive. \n\n\n\nTogether\, Thullah\, Pressat\, and Ntwari represent a growing wave of diasporic storytellers challenging conventions and reimagining what it means to create\, connect\, and celebrate identity across mediums and borders. Don’t miss this rare opportunity in our city to commune in knowledge sharing\, art and empowerment.
