Join the members of our “Legacies of the Komagata Maru Letters To Our Elders” workshop series as we perform poetry, spoken word and other performances inspired by June Jordan’s “Poem about My Rights” as well as by the workshop content, and from sharing of personal stories and ideas as a group.
The workshop series was open to all those who self-identified as youth of colour, Indigenous, and mixed-race.
