FIXT POINT is a Toronto-based arts & media company with national reach. Our mandate is to inspire audiences and artists to imagine change, and our mission is to promote local culture and preserve local heritage through the telling of tales across multiple platforms. We endeavour to be leaders in public engagement, embedding training and outreach into our process of creation and dissemination. FIXT POINT was founded in 2006 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 2011. Now more than ever, it is critical to invest in accessible and sustained projects that bring together the diversity of voices that make up our country, foregrounding the local and personal stories that speak to both our uniqueness and our universality. That is something that deserves celebration, and together with the energy and contributions of young Canadians, we will create a physical and virtual space where these voices can live and be heard.
Description
To date, we've interviewed over 3,000 Canadians from every province and territory in almost 200 communities in our storymobiles (mobile recording studio on wheels); edited and posted hundreds of oral histories on our storymap; produced two seasons of a TV/web series for TVO; and, most recently, we were awarded Touring Artist of the Year from the Canadian Arts Presenting Association (CAPACOA).
