SUMMARY:Hold Fast 2026
DESCRIPTION:HOLD FAST Festival is a celebration of contemporary performance\, interdisciplinary art\, and community engagement in St. John’s\, Ktaqmkuk/NL.\nThis year’s festival takes place August 12-15\, 2026. \nOur core values are:\n\n\nFacilitating community engagement and meaningful exchange\nIncreasing public arts literacy\nCreating opportunities for artists\nCritiquing and subverting structural oppressions & systems of power\, with emphasis on:\n\nqueer\, feminist\, and anti-racist perspectives\nNewfoundland & Labrador regional identity\nand Indigenous resistance to colonialism\n\n\n\n\nHOLD FAST culminates in a Saturday afternoon Art Crawl\, a series of performances\, installations\, and interactive pop-ups staged outdoors and in non-gallery venues across downtown St. John’s. Past programming has included performances\, interactive installations\, artist talks\, workshops\, dance\, drag\, burlesque\, film screenings\, and free community events for people of all ages. \n\n\nHOLD FAST respectfully acknowledges that the land we are occupying is the unceded and ancestral homelands of the Beothuk and that Ktaqmkuk\, known as the island of Newfoundland\, is home to the Mi’kmaq peoples. We would also like to recognize the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut\, and the Innu of Nitassinan as the original peoples of Labrador. We strive to move beyond acknowledgment to active solidarity\, by building meaningful relationships in our communities\, dismantling structures of white supremacy\, and opposing ongoing colonization. We invite our communities to consider their own responsibilities to Indigenous peoples and to the stolen lands where we make our homes.
