SUMMARY:Celebrate Mother’s Day at Metropolis at Metrotown
DESCRIPTION:This Mother’s Day\, Metropolis at Metrotown invites moms\, mom figures\, and their families to discover the joys of Mother Nature! The Met’s annual “We Love Moms & Mother Nature” returns with an adventurous twist from April 18 to May 19\, 2025. From an indoor “glampsite” to the beloved Mother’s Day party in the Grand Court\, here are four ways you and your loved ones can join in the action at BC’s largest shopping centre. \nFrom April 18 until May 19\, go glamping – no preparation required. The heart of the Met’s Mother’s Day festivities is the Grand Court\, which will be transformed into an epic indoor glampsite. Supported by Decathlon – whose 38\,000-square-foot flagship store opened at the Met on April 27\, 2024\, the site encompasses a tropical tiki bar; a tented grassland bedroom; a camp-inspired kitchen; and a beachside games room. There’s also a faux campfire with s’mores on select weekends (April 26 & May 3)\, as well as spot-the-wildlife-themed games for both kids and adults. The glamping site will be closed on April 30 and May 10. \nFrom April 18 until May 19\, step into nature… indoors. Crafted by the creative minds at local design studio Lazy Wizard\, the Grand Court’s enchanting glampsite features a mountains-and-forest tableau with a whimsical hot air balloon suspended above. Enter through an inflatable tree and wander amid light-festooned trees and a charming campground. \nOn May 10 from 12 – 2pm\, encourage Mom to let loose at a party in her honour. Mothers work hard every day of the year – on Saturday\, May 10\, they can play! Kick off your Mother’s Day celebrations a day early at the Met’s ticketed bash\, which invites guests of all ages to a midday fête with music\, cocktails and wine\, and light canapes. Amusements include DIY s’mores\, woodland photo opportunities\, craftmaking\, and a door prize. Plus\, each adult will receive a gift bag to take home (complete with a Met $20 gift card). Tickets cost $40 per adult and $5 for kids aged 5-15 years; kids 4 and under are free. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to Burnaby Family Life’s Women Driving Their Future program. Tickets are available online. \nStarting April 24\, shop for a $20 reward. Ahead of Mother’s Day\, visitors to the Met who spend $200 (before taxes) will get a $20 reward card – the perfect incentive to splash out on a memorable Mother’s Day gift! Plus\, the Met will donate $5 for each redemption (up to $5\,000) to the Burnaby Fire Department. Rewards are available until sold out! \nThe shopping centre is open Monday to Saturday\, 10am – 9pm\, and Sunday\, 11am – 7pm.

SUMMARY:Vitality: Iconic Images\, Hidden Stories
DESCRIPTION:Step into the streets of Vancouver’s Chinatown through the lens of Fred Herzog. A new exhibit reopening the Chinatown Storytelling Center\, Vitality brings together a striking selection of Herzog’s photographs\, capturing daily life in Chinatown\, Strathcona\, and along historic Hastings St. from the 1950s to 1970s. Known for his masterful use of Kodachrome colour\, Herzog documented the heyday of a neighbourhood in transformation — family-run shops\, vibrant street scenes\, and quiet moments of resilience and joy. \nEach photograph is paired with personal and historical narratives uncovered by the Chinatown Storytelling Centre\, adding new layers of meaning to Herzog’s iconic images. Scan QR codes throughout the exhibition to hear firsthand reflections that bring these moments to life. \nBlending photography with storytelling\, Vitality uncovers the hidden stories behind Herzog’s iconic images\, offering a richer\, more nuanced view of these historic neighbourhoods. By capturing the vitality\, creativity\, and resilience of the community during its heyday\, this exhibition serves as a powerful reminder of what these neighbourhoods once were—and what they can become again. \nVitality\, the companion publication to the exhibition\, is a striking\, full-colour book featuring Fred Herzog’s iconic photographs of Chinatown and its surrounding neighbourhoods from the 1950s\, ’60s\, and ’70s is available for purchase at Foo Hung Curios.

SUMMARY:Restless by Nature: Mary Sui Yee Wong\, 1990s to the present
DESCRIPTION:Richmond Art Gallery presents Restless by Nature\, the first retrospective of multidisciplinary artist Mary Sui Yee Wong’s work\, on view from April 12 to June 8\, 2025. Wong’s artistic practice over three decades spans sculpture\, installation\, photography\, video\, and costume\, and works in this exhibition have been specially updated for this new context–reflecting the site-specificity that Wong is known for. A newly commissioned performance-based work\, Gold Mountain\, draws from the rising levels of anti-Asian violence seen in recent years\, and will use an act of destruction to explore systemic racism as driven by the neoliberal economy. Born in Hong Kong to Cantonese opera master Toa Wong and raised in Vancouver\, the artist frequently addresses themes of personal memory\, familial legacy\, and cultural history in her work. Based in Montréal\, Wong is a professor in Concordia University’s Fine Arts department\, an advocate for the Chinese Canadian community\, and a celebrated mentor of younger generations of Asian diaspora artists. A collaboration between the Gallery\, City of Richmond Public Art\, and Capture Photography Festival\, her work TREASURE II\, which honours her Chinese cultural and artistic heritage\, will be featured at Lansdowne Station. \nThis exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program. \nAdmission to the Richmond Art Gallery is free. Donations are appreciated.

SUMMARY:VIFF Live | Biboye Onanuga Plays Monk + Thelonious Monk: Straight\, No Chaser Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the VIFF stage\, Biboye Onanuga\, presents: ’The Music of Monk’. The Edmonton-based drummer is joined by an iconoclastic ensemble of Vancouver musicians Quincy Mayes (piano)\, Jodi Proznick (bass)\, and John Nicholson (tenor) for an evening of Monk tunes and arrangements before the 1988 documentary Thelonious Monk: Straight\, No Chaser. \n“The key to swing jazz is to swing it.” Monk’s words are often top of mind when I play this music — “Jazz”. One of the beautiful things about this musical tradition is the ability for an individual’s essence to unravel through their playing. Their touch\, feel\, interpretations\, etc . . . they reveal a person. And while technical skill and ability may be heard\, “a genius is the one most like himself” (Monk) — their sound is felt. I am inspired by the players who seek to earnestly express themselves through the medium of music. Monk may have been the greatest of these. So we celebrate him and his contributions the best way we know how – through the music that was uniquely his own. — Biboye Onanuga \nBiboye Onanuga is a British-born\, Nigerian-Canadian drummer\, and imaginative composer. Steeped in the arts scene since high-school\, he quickly became a sought-after player – recently completing his music degree at MacEwan University and already joining nationally-recognized players such as Jim Head\, Rubim DeToledo\, Mboya Nicholson to name a few. Biboye has made meaningful contributions to his local scene through his instrumental hip-hop/jazz band (Good information)\, 3-year-tenure weekly music series (New Standards) and recent Sunday Jazz series (Daze Days). \nAbout Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser\nCharlotte Zwerin’s 1988 documentary draws on 14 hours of prime Monk footage shot by Christian Blackwood in 1967 and 1968 (“like finding the Dead Sea Scrolls of Jazz\,” enthused producer Bruce Ricker. Featuring Monk on tour in Europe\, playing in clubs\, recording\, and in interviews\, the film is supplemented with more recent interviews with band mates and the Baroness Nica de Koenigswarter\, among others.

SUMMARY:Kasador at Portside Pub
DESCRIPTION:Kasador takes the stage in Vancouver at the Portside Pub on April 18th as part of their cross-Canada tour promoting their new EP! \nOver the past two years\, the Kingston\, Ontario band released their second full-length\, 2023’s Youth\, toured across Canada and the U.S.\, and went from a three-piece to a four-piece outfit. They hit major streaming milestones\, won awards for their music videos\, been getting regular spins at XM radio\, and scored spots on national Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts—the sort of success every rock band dreams of. \nBut as much as they’re interested in success\, Kasador — vocalist/guitarist Cameron Wyatt\, guitarist Thomas Draper\, bassist Boris Baker\, and drummer Stephen Adubofuor — are interested in simply being a great rock and roll band in a time when connection\, friction\, and unpredictability are whittled away in favor of algorithmically dictated sameness. What is left when everything feels and looks and sounds good? Why do we idolize the rich assholes picking our pockets? \n‘Golden’\, ‘Cut It’ and ‘Revolution No.10’ —undoubtedly the heaviest music Kasador has released to date — is a taste of a new collection of 10 songs to be released in 2025\, across two EPs. Recorded at the Bathouse Recording Studio with engineer Nyles Spencer and written with a group of friends and longtime collaborators\, the tracks evidence a new era for Kasador: More than ever\, they’re committed to loud\, catchy\, confrontational guitar music as a weapon against corporate power\, plutocracy\, and our great collective numbness. This is the clearest and most direct they’ve ever been. Uncoincidentally\, it’s also the most fed-up they’ve ever been\, and they’re not pulling any punches. \nKasador has perfected their sound with this new material: It’s tender and carefully considered\, but also raw and wild and burnt around the edges\, a sonic and compositional thumbprint that nods to classic and alternative rock history while pushing into something new\, something exciting.

SUMMARY:VIFF Live | Zappostrophe + Frank Zappa’s 200 Motels Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Time to fly your freak flag and jump into Frank Zappaland. A prodigious and prolific talent\, Zappa (1940-1993) composed\, recorded and produced more than 60 albums; music that brought to rock the complexity and sophistication of classical composition\, drawing on jazz\, blues\, pop and music concrete\, but leavened with a surreal and satiric wit. \nAhead of his time\, Zappa also directed music videos and the feature 200 Motels (with Tony Palmer)\, a free-form rock tour riff with Keith Moon as a hot nun and Ringo Starr playing a dwarf Zappa that was shot on videotape in just 10 days. It’s a cult curio that revels in its own sense of possibility. Before the movie\, enjoy a set of Zappa tunes resurrected and reimagined by the electrifying Zappostrophe\, an eclectic 8-piece band who channel surf FZ’s discography. \nBlair Fisher – vocals / trumpet / flute / keys\nBlair Lewis – guitar / synths / vocals / rubber chicken\nLJ Mounteney – vocals / kazoo\nNick Apivor – percussion / vocals\nGuenter Schulz – guitar\nCole Tinney – keyboards\nBrent Gubbels – bass\nJason Overy – drums

SUMMARY:DanceHouse presents Diptych: the missing door and the lost room
DESCRIPTION:DanceHouse presents the BC premiere of Peeping Tom’s intriguing theatrical dream world Diptych: The missing door and The lost room\, on stage at the Vancouver Playhouse April 24-26\, 2025. The multiple-award-winning Belgian dance theatre company takes on a surreal and highly cinematic storytelling approach\, featuring extraordinary physicality and pushing the limits of movement with astonishing performances. The paired works of Diptych introduce audiences to a collection of odd and archetypal individuals in seemingly real and stable environments – a banal hallway and a ship’s cabin – only to slide into a mysterious and macabre labyrinth that defies all logic of time and space. The production deftly balances darkness with moments of absurd humour as the company delves into psychological depths to explore relationships\, subconscious fears\, and the nature of reality itself. \nDanceHouse will host a Pre-show Talk at 7:15pm ahead of each performance in the Upper Lobby\, and a Post-show Social following Friday’s performance in the Salon. \nFor tickets and further information\, visit: dancehouse.ca

SUMMARY:Maestros of Afro-Cuban Jazz feat. Alain Perez Trio
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets for the MAESTROS OF AFRO-CUBAN JAZZ concert series and catch for the 1st time in Vancouver and direct from Cuba\, the ALAIN PEREZ TRIO. Join us for an evening of island-flavoured jazz with one of the greatest Cuban musicians of our time. \nSinger\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, producer\, arranger\, orchestra director\, and Grammy winner\, it’s hard to talk about Cuban-born music genius Alain Pérez without resorting to superlatives. He has worked alongside iconic figures such as Paco de Lucía\, Chucho Valdés & Irakere\, Celia Cruz\, Enrique Morente\, Diego El Cigala\, and many others. Alain Pérez was instrumental in revolutionizing contemporary Cuban music during the 90’s\, a decade that changed the country’s music forever\, and a period where he cemented his place as one of Cuba’s most gifted musicians. Today\, the very mention of his name prompts a reverence and a smile of joy\, because that’s what Alain Pérez has come to symbolize: the embodiment of the island’s rich and uplifting music. \n“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙗𝙖 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙢 “𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙨” 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮\, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.
