Richard Bona is a Grammy-winning musician and one of the most accomplished international bass players, composers, and multi-instrumentalists. With his unique sound and vocal gift, he is continuously representing his African origins. Bona’s music addresses the continent’s traditions, culture, beauty and issues. His purpose and the way he connects with his audience has turned him into a staple name in world, jazz and Afropop music. His new group, Asante Trio, is a testament to his philosophy of cultural collaboration. Joining Bona is pianist Jesus Pupo, who pays tribute to the “piano Cubano” style and its vibrant Afro-Cuban rhythmic and melodic heritage. Percussionist Harvel Nakundi provides the groove and layered rhythmic complexity inherent to the many styles that influence the group’s sound.

High Tide | Cancer Season: Creative Workshop + Sound Bath
2025-06-25 08:00 - 17:00 | Kou Studios, 2008 Manitoba Street, Vancouver, BC, VaV5Y3V3
A creative workshop and sound bath hosted by Low Tide / High Tide — a pop-up series by artist Mega McGrath, designed to help you reconnect with your creative vision, clear blocks, and sync with the natural cycles that shape the world around us. Featuring certified sound practitioner and channeler, May Globus.
An evening of meditation, sound healing, and creative workshopping
We use astrology as a mythological framework (drawing on archetypes for theme and timing) while grounding the experience in psychology, meditation, and somatic nervous system work. The goal is to activate the parasympathetic state where clarity can emerge and change becomes possible.
We’ll work with the energy of the Full Moon in Capricorn (taking place just 3 days after High Tide!) to sync with the earth’s natural rhythm and help you release what’s no longer working; identify old habits, creative blocks, and outdated structures.
You’ll also receive a printout of Mega’s Three Month Worry Cleanse—a simple 90-day tool to help shift your relationship with time, discipline, and self-worth. We close the evening with a 20-minute sound bath to help the work settle into the body. Using crystal bowls and healing frequencies, the sound helps integrate your insights and restore balance.
Who is this for? Creatives, entrepreneurs, artists, aspiring artists, and those seeking a deeper connection with themselves, their work, and the world around them.

The Polygon Gallery: Star Witnesses
2025-06-27 10:00 - 2025-09-28 17:00 | The Polygon Gallery, 101 Carrie Cates Ct, North Vancouver, V7M 3J4, Canada
The Polygon Gallery presents Star Witnesses, a group exhibition by Monika Szewczyk that assembles works by a constellation of renowned artists whose insightful observations of the cosmos bring new understandings of exploratory and migratory movements on Planet Earth. The title gestures toward each artist’s precise vision, honed at the technical limits of photography, and hints at how their work can turn viewers into powerful witnesses in turn. The found and newly produced images take inspiration from the skies while giving substance to vital, human histories: one woman’s survival in an internment camp; one man’s narrow escape from a white mob; underexposed connections between a war in the Middle East and peace in a mid-sized German town; an artist’s moment of grace on top a moonlit mountain, far from home. Each work offers the image of the cosmos as material evidence for a distinctive perspective, worldview, or imaginary — together, they attest to the fact that there is no universal way of gazing at the universe. The exhibition features Daniel Boyd, Vija Celmins, David Horvitz, Bouchra Khalili, Judy Radul, Thomas Ruff, Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, and Helmut Weber), Carrie Mae Weems, and Paul Wong.
Admission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

Indian Summer Festival
2025-07-04 19:00 - 2025-08-13 18:00
Borderless Solidarities: 2025 Curatorial Theme
With the closures of thought all around us in an era of hardened borders, resurgent strains of authoritarianism and violent expulsions, the urgency to think and live otherwise intensifies. In an unravelling world, we invoke an audacious and unfashionable idea – an insurgent solidarity that refuses the inertias of this troubled time.
We hold deviously to the idea that the world of arts and culture bears the distinctive power to unfold a possible countersignature to the present hour. Through acts of deep hospitality and breathing together, we intend to fracture the inevitability of the inherited storyline and ricochet into public encounters of the possible.
We ask, how can we be together today? What is the time of dreaming? How to amplify the whispered gestures of the periphery? To listen well. To move beyond estrangement. To laugh, to gather, to persist in the face of impunity. To court the ecstatic trance. To disappear and reappear. To reinhabit the capacity to touch and feel. To assemble a brief refuge for the imperishable, a defense of the sensual. A bumpy carriage ride where both tradition and change have room for maneuver. An open door to the stranger, the neighbour and the passerby. Always an insistence on promiscuous alliances and borderless solidarities. To leave open the possibility of the possibility of something new.
Welcome to the Indian Summer Festival 2025. Bring your friends.

Horizons | Indian Summer Fest
2025-07-10 19:30 - 22:30 | Vancouver Playhouse, 600 Hamilton St, Vancouver, V6B 2P1, Canada
How do we hold grief in these fractured times? When nation states starve the innocent and empires redraw borders with ruthless intent, when tools meant to connect us end up driving us apart, we turn to artists to offer meaning and remind us of our humanity. Horizons gathers a luminous constellation of award-winning artists who offer us vision, sanctuary, and solidarity.
Curated by Ruby Singh, this event features Vivek Shraya, whose award-winning body of work spans music, literature, visual art, theatre, TV, film, and fashion. Also featuring Kimmortal renowned for their highly conceptual, genre-bending musical explorations and intricate lyricism. Mohanad El Eek, a virtuoso Syrian oud player, adds his exceptional talent to the lineup.
The night will also showcase exclusive one-night-only collaborations: the heart-stirring poetry of Brandon Wint paired with the dynamic composer, trumpeter, bassist, and electronic musician Feven Kidane; and Governor General’s Literary Award winner
Cecily Nicholson in collaboration with the soulful sounds of violinist, singer, and songwriter Sejal Lal.
Together, these artists create a powerful soundscape—part concert, part gathering, part invocation of a future built on connection, care, resistance and difference. This is more than a performance—it’s an invitation to critically imagine new ways of being together in the troubling present.
Just as horizons stretch beyond lines on a map, this night of performance transcends the confines of genre. Through music, poetry, and stories, these artists light a torch in the dark, guiding us toward collective reckoning and shared humanity.
This is more than a performance. It is a gathering — a reminder that even in grief, we can meet at the horizon and imagine something new, together.
