Sistah’s and sistah’s at heart! We are going to the canoe club for some 1/2 price glasses of wine at 7:30pm on Tuesday July 6th. Even if you have never been to our events, (or don’t drink wine!) they are a lot of fun and great way to get to know some other rad women in our community!
We will have a table under “antidote” and Mel and I will be there for sure! See you tommorrow!!

Cheers

On Wednesday June 16th, antidote held an interracial coffee house at Camas bookstore in Quadra Village. This was a great night of discussion on interracial identity and relationships. In addition, each participant was able to make a quilt square, which will be featured on a quilt in September for Interracial families day.

The Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Center Society would like to invite you to: “Here I Stand”: a theater performance by immigrant and refugee youth. The group was formed in October 2009 with the aim of providing an opportunity for newcomer youth to explore issues of transition, diversity and immigration. Using theater allowed youth to connect with the arts while exploring difficult topics in a creative, non-language bound way.

“Here I Stand” is a collage of images and scenes that are inspired by their real life experiences. Topics include: immigration, identity
formation, culture shock, discrimination at school, changes in the family, conflicts with teachers and traumatic stress. It was important
to the youth that they also represent the beauty of diversity and the benefits of living in a multicultural society.

The aim of this performance is to empower youth as peer educators by engaging with audience members in an interactive workshop. Following the performance, audience members will participate in an interactive discussion. You will get the chance to break the scenes down while working as a community to deepen our understanding on the experiences of newcomer youth. Click here to view their trailer.
