CRAB PARK & THE NEST PROJECT Walking Tour with Greg Ferguson & Don Larson for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Thursday Nov 4, 2010
Walking Tour
CRAB PARK & THE NEST PROJECT
with Greg Ferguson & Don Larson
Thursday November 4, 4:30pm-6pm
Meet at Wendy Poole Park, NW corner of Main & Alexander
Environmental artist Sharon Kallis spent the summer in workshops with community members to create woven sculptures for the marsh pond located in CRAB Park. They wove perches and protection for park birds and helped to make the area more livable for birds in the DTES, www.crabparknest.wordpress.com. As they worked they learned about the history and stories of the favourite waterfront from Don Larson, activist and founder of CRAB Water for Life Society. Led by Don’s persistence in the mid-80s, determined residents set up a tent-city for almost three months to fight for the right to build a park in the DTES. Their persistence eventually paid off and we celebrate the results of their activism in this natural jewel of a park. Don and Greg Ferguson, biologist, will lead a walking tour of the park history, ecology, and various memorials and art works. $10 for non-residents, pay what you can for local residents

Learning, Freedom & The Web Open Lab Discussion at W2 Woodward’s Open Lab for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Wednesday Nov 3, 2010
Open Lab Discussion
LEARNING, FREEDOM & THE WEB
Wednesday November 3, 11am-2pm
W2 Woodward’s Open Lab,
250–111 W. Hastings
Learn about the open web, how it affects how we learn and explore local solutions such as creating a free community wifi for the DTES. The web surrounds us with a massive and remixable tapestry of perspectives, facts and data. It gives us the freedom to learn whatever we want at our own speed and in our own way. It lets us become our own teachers. Fundamentally: the free and open nature of the internet is revolutionizing learning. Come for a discussion that is also digitally connected to a live dialogue from Mozilla Foundation’s Drumbeat Conference in Barcelona. Free (optional lunch $5)

Barrio Flamenco for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Tuesday Nov 2, 2010
Music & Dance
BARRIO FLAMENCO: Flamenco for the People
Tuesday November 2, 8pm
radha yoga & eatery, 728 Main, 2nd floor
Celebrate the creativity of artists in the Downtown Eastside with an unforgettable night of live flamenco music and dance to celebrate the power of people making art! Flamenco is originally an art form by and for the people, danced and played with ferocity, joy, laughter and tears. ‘Barrio’ refers to the vibrant and tight-knit neighbourhoods in southern Spain where flamenco originated. The evening, organized by Kelty McKerracher, features some of the most compelling flamenco artists in the city along with a mariachi performance in honour of Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. Bring a photo, poem, or memory for the ‘Wall of Remembrance.’ As the divide between this world and the spirit world blurs, join us for an exciting juerga (flamenco party) to play, pray, laugh, cry, enjoy, and stomp your feet! (www.radhavancouver.org) Proceeds of the evening donated to EWMA (Enterprising Women Making Art) a program of ATIRA Women’s Resource Society, www.atira.bc.ca. Cash bar. Everyone welcome! Suggested donation $0-20 at the door
