Travis Rider

Travis is a Stoney Nation community member who works to promote mental health and wellness from a Stoney perspective. He is the Indigenous Liaison to artsPlace and has helped artsPlace initiate a series of Cultural Learning Circles that aspire to build a bridge of understanding between different cultural groups in the Bow Valley.

“We need to learn how to coexist and live with each other and that starts off by sharing each other’s culture. Sharing a culture is another form of teaching. We want to hold space for people to learn from each other.”
