Early next year the poem version of Kmitknu will be published in a limited run by art house publisher Running the Goat Books and Broadsides.

shalan is currently adapting a new piece of dance theatre, ''Winter Moons,'' that will premiere at Neptune Theatre in Halifax November 12-24, 2024. Working with Mi’kmaw choreographer Sarah Prosper under the guidance of cultural grandmothers, shalan keeps her stories grounded within her culture. In this regard she and her fellow artists first shared a workshop performance of ''Winter Moons'' around an artificial fire in a yurt in shalan's home community of L'sitkuk in December 2023.

Her first short documentary, Welima'q, is having it's world Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), it's Atlantic Canada Premiere at the Atlantic International Film Festival (AIFF), and it's Newfoundland Premiere at the St Johns International Women's Film Festival (SJIWFF) and also being shown at the Lunenburg Doc Festival. Welima'q, is a poetic doc witnessing a sweetgrass landscape on the shores of Mi'kma'ki. Between the salt water and forest line, a family weaves themselves within these grasses. The picking of sweetgrass becomes an action — and word — with profound meaning in this gently mesmerizing piece.
