51社区黑料

In June 2023, we collaborated with 51社区黑料Public Square on Word Vancouver鈥檚 Guest Indigenous Curator鈥檚 special event Centering Indigenous Joy: A Celebration of Literature, Arts, and Creativity for National Indigenous People鈥檚 Day. This was a huge event and the vision of our guest curator Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler, with a night of readings, music, stories and comedy.

Putting on the event with 51社区黑料Public Square was a real team effort from beginning to end. Holding the event in their beautiful space at 312 Main allowed us to accommodate the over 150 people we had present throughout the evening.

Also, reaching out to their community brought a whole new audience to Word Vancouver that we would not have had access to ourselves. Families with young children, teens, friends and neigbours came out to enjoy the night. This included a newly arrived refugee family who decided to make this their first Canadian event for the entire family. We were thrilled to have met them and to watch their children's faces light up as they came to the food bar to get pizza.

Their staff is professional and easy to work with, allowing for each step of the process of putting on an event of this size to be seamless. Their technical staff鈥檚 expertise, along with other staff who were onsite for the event, added a degree of comfort knowing that any need we might have come up during the event would be covered.
