Hamilton Arts Week - 2020 - Margaret Lindsay Holton


HAMILTON ARTS WEEK! 
ON-LINE - JUNE 11th to JUNE 20th, 2020 
Artists, performers, authors and entertainers from around the Golden Horseshoe Region of Southern Ontario, Canada, are offering a variety of different on-line events from classic opera to crochet-making for those housebound during the Covid Crisis from June 11th to June 20th.  I am thrilled to be included in the line-up with a 'broadcast' on June 15th, at NOON, of my 2017 spoken-word & electro-pop album, CANADADA: TAKE TWO. In it, I explore and examine what it means to be 'Canadian'. In many ways, the thoughts and ideas are as relevant today as they were when I first created & produced this work. Check out the extensive and diverse line-up during the 9 days: bookmark what interests you, add the event to your calendar to 'tune in' at the appropriate time.


Community Event Listings are here ... 
and here's a direct link to my offering.
(And YES, you can tune-in to my offering at any time. Here's a wee sample, SHAREWARE, by yours truly.  
Now, go listen to the SHAREWARE poem.:) ) 

ENJOY!

Valentine's Day 2018 - from M.L.Holton

'Art Attack by M.L.Holton
There is so much hate and hurt in the world now - people lashing out, crying, and dying from injustice and justice. As an artist, in this year, 2018, and on this day, I consider it my on-going ROLE to declare that I too WITNESS, via my words and art works, that which defines, aligns and alienates us, humanity, from each other, and from our collective home, Mother Earth.

Today, I was honored to have excerpts from my album, Canadada: Take Two, included in this timely & insightful Australian podcast by DJ Lapkat. She has mindfully assembled a medley of spoken word and music that ADDRESSES us, humanity. 

Please, listen in - give it the due it deserves. Thank you.

La Danza Poetica - #60. Canada:Untold Stories

Via DJ Lapkat: 'We love you, Canada. Not only is your Minister for Transport an astronaut, your storytellers, poets, musicians and artists are gravity-defyingly-eloquent. La Danza Poetica #60 is an extended show, because I was enjoying myself so much, I could not stop. Moving from high-energy, activist hip hop and electronic dance music, into an extended ambient / spoken word mix with no interruption from me ... this month I bring you some stories, told in a time of reckoning, rooted in cultural expression, social consciousness, and Mother Earth connection.
