Humber Indigenous Education & Engagement and Humber Galleries are pleased to partner together on the Indigenous Transmedia Fellowship. This program is for students who self-identify as First Nation (status and non-status), Métis, Inuit, as well as international members of an Indigenous nation. It brings visibility and support to the Indigenous community, while also fostering engagement and collaboration among creative peers. In 2022, under the mentorship of Humber staff, five students were selected to develop their talents in film installation, digital media, graphic design, and storytelling, resulting in the creation of "Stolen", a short fiction suspense thriller.
