Diaspora Dialogues invites you to join us for a weekend of readings reimagining Canadian history. Our country’s defining attributes are its multiculturalism and inclusivity. Yet, we tend to tell Canadian history through the eyes of the white settler. For Doors Open 2016, Diaspora Dialogues has invited some of city’s finest writers, spoken word artists, and playwrights to explore a moment or figure from Canadian history reimagined through a more diverse and inclusive lens.
Saturday May 28, 2016, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
