Sound of the City: Vancouver | Ongoing | FREE | Online 

Ever wonder about the musical talents flourishing in our own backyard? Every week, the City of Vancouver and Stir magazine spotlight Vancouver artists, focusing on BIPOC and under-represented artists. Each feature includes a Spotify playlist with the artist’s favourite songs and a short interview published online. Previously featured artists included Crack Cloud, DJ O Show, Loscil, and NADUH. Take the time to explore the work of local artists at your own pace.

Abundance | Ongoing | Pay what you can | Online 

Amber Phillips presents a three-part short film that jarringly reveals the experience of identity and its limitations and possibilities for Black women and femmes. Abundance is a juxtaposition between Phillips’ personal life and “culturally significant socio-political moments like the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests.” Phillips’ intention is to try and “make sense” of the world that consumes one’s humanity and identity, and to pave a new path forward for collective liberation. Abundance is available for viewing online at a “pay what you can” rate.
