The Festival is pleased to present an exhibit of some of Murray’s flux design community action posters. Murray is an artist, activist, photographer, graphic designer and longtime DTES resident who loves making posters almost as much as he loves canoeing. You have probably seen Murray’s posters over the years in the DTES, on everything from Woodward’s to Insite to the Olympics. His posters are challenging and bold and grab our attention to the cause. Murray will lead a poster workshop at 2pm earlier today.
This event was on Day 5 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!

On page 45 of the Festival Program guide, there is a writeup on AHA MEDIA
The Festival is thrilled to partner with the DTES’s AHA Media to provide social media coverage (video/photos/blog) of the Heart of the City Festival. AHA Media gives voice to our local community and provides services for individuals and organizations to share their news and special events on a broader scale through social media. Founded in 2008 by local artists April Smith, Hendrik Beune, and Al Tkatch, AHA Media previously collaborated with Fearless City Media and has an ongoing working relationship with W2Community Media Arts and various other organizations and individuals in the DTES community. The members of AHA Media describe themselves as “definitely not mainstream media”. Based in Vancouver’s DTES, their style is described as non-invasive and unassuming.
