As part of the City of Vancouver 125th birthday celebrations, the just-announced Hapa-palooza festival features an array of mixed-heritage artists in the mediums of dance, film, music, visual and literary arts. According to its organizers it was “created for everyone whose family roots reach across cultures,” and its mandate is “to foster community and dialogue among people identifying as having mixed heritage and to generate public awareness around topics related to mixed heritage.”
Hapa-palooza runs from September 7 to 10 and features three free public events and a ticketed cabaret evening. Here are the confirmed programs and guests:
MIXED VOICES RAISED: Writers, Poets and Spoken Word Artists in Dialogue. Writers Fred Wah, Joanne Arnott, and Tanya Evanson engage the audience in mixed-root dialogue and share their literary expression in fiction, poetry, and spoken-word performance. Sept. 7, 7-8:30 pm, Vancouver Public Library Central Branch, Alice MacKay Room. Free.
