Universal University? On Space and Inclusion in Higher Education | January 12, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. | Zoom | Free with registration

SFU’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue and Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies are hosting a virtual seminar exploring topics such as the connection between space and inclusion and how to prevent the terms “inclusion” and “diversity” from becoming rote and meaningless. The discussion will feature guest speaker Dr. Saladdin Ahmed, Union College political science professor and author of Totalitarian Space and the Destruction of Aura. Participants must register via Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link for the seminar. 

A New Resilience: Artist Talk and Tour | January 14 at 7:15 p.m. | Facebook Live | Free

Port Moody Arts Centre (PoMoArts) is launching a new gallery exhibition showcasing the work of Vancouver-based, multi-media artist Sonya Iwasiuk. Titled A New Resilience and inspired by the first wave of Ukranian immigration to Canada, Iwasiuk’s pieces reflect on “one of the most pressing current world issues — people fleeing their turbulent homelands searching for peace and prosperity.” On the opening day of this exhibit, Iwasiuk will present a discourse and tour of the gallery on a PoMoArts Facebook Live feed. A New Resilience will be available for viewing both in–person and online from January 14 to February 15, 2021. 

Riley Park Winter Farmers Market | January 16, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Free
