1895 Venables Street

In Mixie & the Halfbreeds, two estranged neighbours are not as different as they think. Funny, biting, fantastical, and profound, the new play by Julie Tamiko Manning and Adrienne Wong revolves around two mixed race Asian Canadian women who approach their cultural dualism in very different ways. A no-holds-barred identity throw-down, Mixie and the Halfbreeds is an optimistic tale for a remixed nation. Directed by Maiko Bae Yamamoto.

Ongoing Projects
Powell Street Festival Society is involved in these important community-building projects. Please check them out!
Lost and Found
www.vaarc.ca/lostandfound
The Lost and Found website is the second half of a collaborative project produced by the Powell Street Festival Society and Access Artist Run Centre in 2006. Lost and Found was originally a group exhibition featuring the work of Judy Chartrand, Wayde Compton and Haruko Okano. Through an artistic residency with the PSFS and VAARC the three artists were asked to consider lost and forgotten “histories” that both linger and disappear within the context of the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver, BC. Each artist produced new works that examined three particular neighbourhoods in the DTES: Japantown, Hogan’s Alley, and the area of land once attributed to the Squamish Nation.
2007 Anniversaries of Change
www.anniversaries07.ca
2007 Anniversaries of Change is a broad-based consortium of institutions and organizations that have come together to mark 2007 as an anniversary year in the quest for justice and a multicultural Canada. The years 1907, 1947, 1967, and 1997 each mark a watershed moment in the history of Asian migrants in Canada and in their struggles to fight discrimination and create the society of today. In commemorating them together in the year 2007, we acknowledge the great changes they reflect in Canadian history over the last 100 years.
