What alchemy inspires writers to transform their worlds and their stories? How is a real life community reimagined in the fiction of new plays? Writers whose work has arisen from this place on Coast Salish territory share their thoughts about the interplay between personal story and ancestral memory, inspiration, place and fiction. Join writers Beverly Dobrinsky (Bread & Salt), Hiro Kanagawa (Indian Arm, upcoming with Rumble Theatre), Renae Morriseau (Storyweaving), Brenda Prince (UBC Masters student), and Quelemia Sparrow (Xwayxway, in development with Full Circle) for an interesting and sure to be lively conversation. Hosted by Playwrights Theatre Centre and presented with the Heart of the City Festival.
This event was on Day 7 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!

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.
