Celebrate our 20th Anniversary

Derek Chan will present an excerpt from unshakable destiny: reflections from a cosplay revolutionary, a work-in-progress follow-up to his critically acclaimed solo protest piece, Happy Valley (featuring live visuals by Andie Lloyd).
Acclaimed Taiwanese performance artist Su PinWen in a playful interrogation of desire and consumption.
Joshua Ongcol, a queer Filipinx Vancouver-based artist with spontaneous, energetic cyphers – dance exchanges formed in clubs, jam sessions and parties.
