Strolling through the paths, tickled by willow branches and rich green foliage, Trout Lake Park provides sprawling fields and gentle hills, children laughing and wildlife all intermingling in cacophonous life. And just like life, COMPLEXITY OF TOGETHER balances the voices of many, in beautiful conjunction: conveying numerous emotions and explorations, healing and realizations. There is reprieve here, at the crossroads of many.

Hadden Park is a melt of beautiful waterfront and gorgeous tree cover, but how has the history of this land come about with the ways in which our bodies move? Xepepáyem was here long before Hadden Park even existed, like the entirety of what we know today as Vancouver. Do these shorelines remember the bodies that once walked them before? FLUIDITY: BODIES, SOUND AND LAND explores the ways in which we all create relationships with our bodies to the land and the sounds that follow us throughout our journey. Featuring poetry and musing, this sonic performance invites the listener down a rabbit hole of history and experience.

A new homestead for now. Strathcona Park is buzzing with pollinators, wildlife and resistance. A neighbourhood with a long history, and a land with an even longer history, Skwácháys knows the water that once lapped it’s thirsty shores. Home to vegetation and community gardens, Strathcona Park reminds us that food has always been an important cornerstone to life, community and culture. SOUNDS LIKE GROWTH explores Indigenous ethnobotany, food sovereignty and the importance to continue to reach for new heights.

It has always been Black, Brown and Indigenous trans women who led the Queer Revolution. The history of so called Vancouver must add the nuance that Queer Sex Workers refused to back down when it came to fighting for what is right. Now home to mainstream Queer Identity, Smemchus/Smamkw’ch rests at the bottom of the ”Gayest” street in Vancouver, Davie Street. David Lam Park’s QUEERING HISTORIES adds the nuance of how Sex Work and Queer Identity have intermingled in Vancouver’s West End.

Once a meeting place between ChinaTown and Hogan’s Alley, there is history below the manicured lawns beside Science World. In fact, a place without the ancestral memory of the waters that once lapped shores much closer inland than now. Xáywá7esks remembers the time before False Creek. FREEDOM: STORIES OF BLACK LIBERATION collects the voices and stories of numerous Black artists and voices together with Indigenous knowledge keepers to show you the power of Ancestral integrity and refuses to forget the soul within.

These stories, prayers, poems, and songs are precious and ask if what has been lost wants to return to us. These sounds cannot be bottled up and sold. They are the rainbow and the tears and the puzzle pieces in our palms. Listening is also the language. Listening is also the poetry. Listening is also the music.

CRAB Park has a deep history, both ancestral and colonial, birthing resistance and survival in many hands. Originally the Squamish Village of Lek’lekí, CRAB has been a gathering place for many of those resisting and remembering. From honouring the many stolen lives of Indigenous women, girls, Two Spirit and trans siblings, to advocating for a Healing Centre. WHO GOES THERE? is a sonic performance that hopes to remind its listeners that there is so much more to it than just earth.
