Just Breathe, Okâwîmâwaskiy (Just Breathe, Mother Earth) is a collaborative project led by Cree artist Sandra Lamouche and settler artist Melanie Kloetzel. 

Just Breathe, Okâwîmâwaskiy offers a journey into and out of climate anxiety. Examining the deep inequalities and inadequate nature of Eurocentric cultural responses to the climate crisis, as well as the cultural possibilities that exist in connecting to the land via Indigenous worldviews, Just Breathe, Okâwîmâwaskiy creates an opening for audiences to engage in a dialogue about reconciliation, the climate emergency and cross-cultural futures.

The live immersive performance of Just Breathe, Okâwîmâwaskiy premiered in 2023, and has been performed over twenty times between 2023-2025. 

To be released in 2026, the film version of Just Breathe, Okâwîmâwaskiy is a production supported by TRAction, Canada Council for the Arts, the University of Calgary, and a Mobilizing Alberta Climate Action grant.
