Diaspora Dialogues invites you to join us for Volume 20: A Celebration of Remarkable Canadian Writing. This will be a landmark event celebrating two decades of fostering and empowering diverse literary voices across Canada and the power of community. The evening will honour our enduring commitment to supporting underrepresented authors and storytellers through mentorship and professional development opportunities, helping them turn their craft into a career.

Highlights of the evening will include:

  • Mainstage arts performances by acclaimed artists who have been part of DD’s journey.
  • A fully immersive content experience at DX Canada, home to the country’s only state-of-the-art system.
  • A delicious and lively dining experience including cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, food stations and more to tempt your palate.

This event will bring together literary stars, cultural leaders, and supporters of the arts for an evening of celebration and inspiration.

Join us as we honour the past, celebrate the present, and envision the future of Canadian storytelling.
