SUMMARY:The Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore
DESCRIPTION:The Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore\nTea\, Bannock and Conversation \nBased on his work with Indigenous youth and elders across Turtle Island\, Wiisaakodewini (Métis) artist Dylan Miner has begun to explore the ‘methodology of visiting\,’ an Indigenous way of working. While conducting an oral history project with retired Anishinaabe autoworkers\, elders shared the idea that “we don’t visit as much as we used to”. Because of urbanization and the necessities of wage labour\, not to mention the effects of settler­ colonialism\, many Indigenous people do not visit one another as frequently. \nIn response\, Miner wondered what it would mean to simply create a time and place to share tea and conversation within the context of the art gallery\, museum\, or Indigenous community centre. It is here that ‘The Elders Say We Don’t Visit Anymore’ emerges. Through this particular socially engaged artist practice\, Miner organizes a tea time where people can stop by to share tea and conversation\, creating and maintaining existing social relationships. Those interested in spending time together\, sharing tea and conversation\, can stop by Gallery Gachet from 1­pm tp 3pm on Saturday\, June 18th and tba in August. \nDylan Miner is a Wiisaakodewinini (Métis) educator\, writer\, historian\, and curator\, as well as an artist working in multiple media. Presently\, Miner is Director of American Indian and Indigenous Studies at Michigan State University\, as well as Associate Professor in the university’s Residential College in the Arts and Humanities. A widely published scholar\, Miner is a founding member of Justseeds\, a graphic arts collective. He earned his PhD from The University of New Mexico and currently lives in East Lansing\, Michigan with his wife\, Dr. Estrella Torrez\, and their two daughters. \nThis event is held in conjunction with an upcoming exhibition\, opening August 5th and running to August 28th. Using traditional plants as a starting point to think about and through community health\, this ongoing project investigates Indigenous medicines and other forms of earth­based and non­Western knowledge and healing. Over the summer Wiisaakodewini (Métis) artist\, Dylan Miner\, will work with community members in the Downtown Eastside as part of this socially-engaged project and resulting exhibition.\n……………………..……………………..……………………..………………….\nAccessibility Info\nfront door: 5 feet width\nfront door step: 6 inch height\nramp: 34 inch width \nwashroom door: 33 inch width\ntoilet: 10 inch clearance on left side\n14 inch clearance in front to sink\nthe washroom has a handrail

SUMMARY:The Menu - Thursdays Writing Collective Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to celebrate the launch of Thursdays Writing Collective’s eighth anthology of creative writing! \nWe spent a year thinking and writing about food in conjunction with Vancouver Poet Laureate Rachel Rose’s community-broadening mandate. Our project\, SUSTAIN AND NOURISH\, allowed us to question beliefs about food\, notions of food safety and politics\, ideas of what constitutes a healthy community\, what ingredients contribute to our identities. The year of writings that boiled down into the poems\, essays\, memoirs and recipes that make up THE MENU create a delicious and intense meal. \nCome hear selections from THE MENU read by the DTES residents who wrote them. Rachel Rose will be in attendance and we will have lots of delicious (free) food. Each copy of THE MENU you purchase supports Thursdays Writing Collective’s programming for next year. \nThursdays Writing Collective is comprised of 150 activists\, academics\, slam poets\, novelists and storytellers who explore issues of self-determination through creative writing. The Collective\, founded in 2008\, holds free\, drop-in writing sessions in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside at Carnegie Community Centre\, has published eight anthologies and performs at festivals\, literary events and readings. www.thursdayswritingcollective.ca \nEveryone is welcome. Washrooms are trans- and gender-diverse-friendly.

We will be reading State and Revolution by V.I Lenin. It describes the role of the State in society\, the necessity of proletarian revolution\, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolutionary change in society that gives power to the working class/proletariat. \nThis bi-weekly Marxist Reading Group is put on by The Young Communist League-Vancouver at the Centre for Socialist Education. For the first session\, we read Marx. Other sessions include Lenin’s book on Imperialism\, and Michael Parenti’s book\, “Blackshirts and Reds.” \nWe encourage people of all levels of learning to join the group and attend our sessions\, from beginners who have never read a word of Marx to those who can recite him verbatim. We are by no means the authority on these matters and we hope that together through conversation we can gain a better understanding on these ideas and their application to the world today. Join the FB Group for this Reading Page to have more online discussions and stay up to date with sessions etc: https://www.facebook.com/groups/245190132519779/ \n***** SESSION 2: Marxism and the State Part 1 *****\nJune 16th\, 2016 @7pm\nMain Reading:\nState and Revolution – Chapters 1\,2\, 3 p. 1-34\nhttp://www.marxistsfr.org/ebooks/lenin/state-and-revolution.pdf \n***** SESSION 3: Marxism and the State Part 2 *****\nJune 30th\, 2016 @7pm\nMain Reading:\nState and Revolution – Chapters 4\, 5\, 6: pg. 34 – 70\nhttp://www.marxistsfr.org/ebooks/lenin/state-and-revolution.pdf

SUMMARY:QTBIPoC Healing Space
DESCRIPTION:> THE LAND \nThis event\, along with the majority of the organizing done by the Black Lives Matter Vancouver Coalition and other organizers\, will be taking place on the traditional\, ancestral and unceded territory and homelands of the Musqueam\, Squamish\, Tsleil-Waututh and Stolo First Nations. We invite our communities to join us in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across and beyond Turtle Island in naming and engaging with the realities of colonial violence\, which as we witnessed on June 12th\, is inseparable from anti-latinx\, anti-black and anti-queer and anti-trans violence. We are grateful to the Coast Salish people for the knowledge\, kindness and indomitable spirit with which they have taken care of this land for millennia and will continue to work in solidarity with their work at this\, and in future events. \n> THE EVENT \nOn June 12th\, a devastating attack took place in Orlando\, Florida. The event was a violent attack on the LGBTQ+ community. The attack took many from the Latinx\, Afro-Latinx and Black communities\, yet this has largely been ignored by mainstream media\, and sadly by much of the LGBTQ+ community here in Vancouver. \nWe would like to hold this space to heal and connect as queer and trans people of colour\, and uplift decolonial ways of loving and nurturing our communities in these hard times. Let’s come together to grieve\, love and heal. \nThis is space being held exclusively for Black\, Latinx\, Indigenous\, Muslim\, and other people of colour whose identities fall on the intersections of being queer\, trans\, two-spirit or elsewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum (QTBIPOC). \nThe space and organizing will prioritise those from the Latinx\, Black\, Indigenous and Muslim communities and ensure a safer space for them. However\, all QTBIPOC are welcome. \nIn remembrance to those who passed during the attack\, the space will contain an altares de muertos put together by our latinx organizers. Decorated with traditional papel picado\, candles\, flores de cempazuchitl (marigolds)\, sugar skulls and the picture of those who lost their lives\, any further offerings of flowers and candles will be welcome. The organizers are conscious that altares are traditionally exclusive to Day of the Dead\, but given the impact this attack has had on the Latinx and Afro-Latinx communities in Orlando\, this feels like an appropriate way to celebrate both the lives and identities of those who are no longer with us. \nIndigenous folks are invited to bring drums\, songs\, or other medicines they wish to contribute to the healing space. \nThere will also be space for quiet reflection\, prayer\, meditation\, art supplies etc. Light refreshments will be available for those needing to break their Ramadan fasts. Active listeners from allied QTBIPOC communities will be available to help create a safer space\, especially for the prioritizied QTBIPOC communities impacted and for general support. \n> THE SPACE \nGallery Gachet. \nThis event is being organized by:\nBlack Lives Matter Vancouver\nBreaking the Fast Muslim Arts Collective\nMembers of the Indigenous\,Latinx\, Afro-Latinx\, Black and Muslim communities of Vancouver

SUMMARY:Plant Walk with T’uy’tanat\, Cease Wyss
DESCRIPTION:Plant Walk with T’uy’tanat\, Cease Wyss\nThursday\, June 16th\, 11am -­ 3pm \nPlease join us for an afternoon as we immerse ourselves in Stanley Park plantlife with knowledge keeper and interdisciplinary artist\, Cease Wyss. \nThe urban environment is rich with plants. By learning about plantlife and their traditional and medicinal uses\, Indigenous knowledge becomes a way to remap the city. Cease leads this interactive walk through Stanley Park: “Everywhere I go in the city I find plantlife. I find it growing up through the cracks of the sidewalks. I see it growing out of the sides of buildings. I see it in the community gardens. The language of plants is extensive. It carries on even beyond our abilities as humans to even imagine\, because they are the second oldest beings on the planet. \nThey are our teachers. They tell us what they are good for. They tell us in their shapes\, they tell us in their colours and in their textures. You become more insightful about your bodies when you learn more about the medicines growing around you.” \nWe will leave promptly from Gallery Gachet at 11am and travel together by bus. Lunch and fare will be provided. Space is limited to 25 participants. If you have needs related to access and mobility please feel free to let us know in advance at programming@gachet.org\, 608­687­2468 or in person at Gallery Gachet during open hours. \nCease Wyss T’Uy’Tanat is a Skwxw’u7mesh ethnobotanist\, media artist\, educator\, food security activist and “Indigenous Plant Diva”\, She is a hip\, urban Aboriginal single mother\, video artist and community leader. She shares her traditional knowledge of plants that can be found throughout the streets and everyday spaces of Vancouver\, reminding us that the medicines are all around us in our urbanized environments. \nThis event is held in conjunction with an upcoming exhibition\, opening August 5th and running to August 28th. Using traditional plants as a starting point to think about and through community health\, this ongoing project investigates Indigenous medicines and other forms of earth­based and non­Western knowledge and healing. Over the summer Wiisaakodewini (Métis) artist\, Dylan Miner\, will work with community members in the Downtown Eastside as part of this socially-engaged project and resulting exhibition.

SUMMARY:Reconcile This! Uniting struggles against colonial dispossession & capitalist displacement
DESCRIPTION:The theft and commodification of resources through settler-colonial occupation underlays every aspect of Canada’s wealth. Under 21st Century austerity governing policies that cut taxes for the rich to cut social programs for the poor\, that wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer super rich\, while more and more low-income working class and Indigenous people are pushed into the streets. But is the solution to this problem simply to redistribute that stolen wealth downwards? Can we imagine struggles against displacement and poverty also lining up behind Indigenous-led struggles against colonial dispossession? \nOn the weekend of June 11 and 12\, delegates from communities throughout the Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island will gather in Vancouver to learn from each other and build a stronger fightback against poverty\, homelessness\, and the displacement crisis. On Saturday evening this “Together Against Displacement and Dispossession” organizing summit will include a public event: a panel to investigate a tension within the struggles for the redistribution of wealth stolen through the occupation of native lands. \nSPEAKERS \nJANNIE WING-SEA LEUNG\, Chinatown Action Group\nMELINDA KACHINA BIGE & BRANDON GABRIEL\, Kwantlen First Nation\nASHLEY MOLLISON\, Victoria Super InTent City\nNATALIE KNIGHT\, Yurok nation & Volcano newspaper \nAccessibility information: The church’s kitchen entrance is at street level\, which gives access to washrooms\, kitchen\, and lower hall. One washroom has a stall that can accommodate a wheelchair. The washroom door opening is 86cm and the stall door is 61cm. Washrooms are de-gendered for community events. The workshop is in English. \nChildcare: There will be childminding available onsite. Please call 778-899-3210 or email organize@stopdisplacement.ca to reserve a spot. \nThe panel will be taking place on the unceded coast salish territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Wauthuth) and Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) peoples.
