2 to 4 p.m.

Unarchived at Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 1055 Marginal Rd

The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is proud to partner with the National Film Board for the Halifax premiere of the documentary film, Unarchived.

Unarchived is a feature-length documentary about the people and places often left out of traditional archives and the communities who are challenging this erasure. Unarchived surveys the inspiring work of community museums and archives across BC, including those of South Asian Canadian, Chinese Canadian, Tahltan Nation and LGBTQ2+ communities.

In Unarchived, we see how the stories of early Chinese Canadians are told through the history of Cumberland’s Chinatown, one of the largest Chinatowns in Canada by the end of WWII, and the records now held in the Cumberland Museum on Vancouver Island; how the stories of early South Asian Canadians are told through the history of Paldi, a vibrant multicultural community founded by Mayo Singh in the Cowichan Valley in 1917, and the archives now kept at the University of the Fraser Valley; how since the 1970s Run Dutton has been the keeper of the BC Gay and Lesbian Archives in his small Vancouver west end apartment; and how in 2021, Sandra Marion, the Director of Cultural Heritage at Tahltan Central Government, traveled from Telegraph Creek to Victoria to discuss repatriation of Tahltan Nation artifacts held in the Royal BC Museum.

Free admission but advance registration.

Mind the Light at Alderney Landing

A workshop presentation of an original queer musical about one woman’s fight for love, family, and freedom as she struggles to keep a lighthouse in the 19th century with book music and lyrics written by award-winning artist Gabrielle Papillon.

Mind the Light is about a family of Lightkeepers set in the 1880s. Azélie, a young woman dedicated to keeping a lighthouse, struggles with love, grief, isolation, and family dynamics, and fights to keep her independence and her home through her dangerous and physically demanding work, tremendous loss, and a love that she must keep secret.

A story of finding joy and pride in hard work, the bravery in small actions, and big risks, and generational strength passed down from a mother and sister, to her brother and daughter, in a working class context, where privilege was limited and autonomy & safety for women and Queer folk is hard won and always at stake.

A Sapphic Affair at Alderney Landing

A Sapphic Affair is a poetry-movement hybrid play based on the Poetry of Sappho. A Sapphic Affair is a queer-affirming love story. It is about passion, surrender and vulnerability (with a little bit of rope).

A Sapphic Affair is a queer-affirming love story, centered on femininity and the magnetism of romance and erotic desire. Based on the work of Sappho, the earliest Greek woman poet whose work survives, her verse is intimate, private, addressed to specific women, direct, very gay and very wet. A Sapphic Affair follows the journey of two women, how they bond and surrender to each other, how their fear drives them away, but also how an unbreakable bond brings them back together. In this play, the media of shibari and movement/dance is the story: The depth of their connection, the deepest form of surrender and trust, and emotions and taking on the ropes, literally and figuratively.

Tickets start at $15.

9 p.m.

Rory Taillon & Brooklyn Doran

Ottawa based alternative-folk musician Rory Taillon brings his unique style and dynamic voice to our Patchwork stage on Sunday, June 11th. Standing alone on the stage with his guitar and suitcase kick-drum, Rory has been known to take audiences on an emotional ride throughout his set from exciting and explosive highs to devastating and crushing lows. The classically trained singer can go from whisper to a rafter rumbling roar while painting heartfelt images with his words. Explore some videos of his powerful performances.

Rory will be sharing the stage with folk artist Brooklyn Doran. Brooklyn Doran (she/her) is a queer singer-songwriter originally from the heart of Northwestern Ontario, who has been a staple of the Toronto folk scene for over ten years. Doran’s unique sound weaves song and storytelling; the polarity between her music and personality create a harmonious blend of wit and humour contrasted by vulnerable lyricism and haunting melody. For a sneak preview of her style, watch some videos.

Tickets for this duo-performance are $25.

Location: Patchwork House Concerts, 30 First Ave, Bedford

NOTE: Patchwork is a house concert series, i.e. we present concerts in our living room. For all shows the artist(s) take the door. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. We will provide a few snacks and soft drinks will be available; otherwise it is BYOB (feel free to bring what inspires you!). Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged.

8:30 p.m.

She is also the founder of the award-winning publishing imprint VS. Books, which supports emerging BIPOC writers.

A seven-time Lambda Literary Award finalist, Vivek has been a brand ambassador for MAC Cosmetics and Pantene. She is a director on the board of the Tegan and Sara Foundation, and is currently adapting her debut play, How to Fail as a Popstar, as a digital series with CBC.
