Vancouver Japanese Language School-Japanese Hall: Room #416

An extension of Mata Ashita’s virtual intergenerational writing circle series, facilitators Megan Kiyoko Wray, Sarah Ariza-Verreualt, and Nico Koyanagi are hosting a collaborative, multimedia workshop inspired by community zine projects. Alongside editors of the paueru gaizette, the Mata Ashita team will lead a participatory art-making activity designed to inspire reflection and connection. This event includes a grounding exercise, creative activity, and optional sharing time, with peer support available if any difficult feelings emerge. Pieces created in the workshop will later be combined into a mini zine, bringing our shared and differing experiences into conversation and collaboration with one another. No prior artistic experience is required to attend — just a willingness to hold space for yourself and others.
