\u00ab\u00a0Welcome to the Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival! <\/strong>This year\u2019s festival theme, Stories We Need to Hear<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> resonates today as our community grapples with the dramatic impact of the pandemic, ongoing displacement, the fentanyl crisis, and the reality of bigotry and systemic racism. In the words of late DTES poet Sandy Cameron, \u201cWhen we tell our stories we draw our own maps, and question the maps of the powerful. Each of us has something to tell, something to teach<\/em>.\u201d We take strength from the compelling lived wisdom and creativity of Downtown Eastside-involved artists and residents who illuminate the community\u2019s vitality, relevance and resilience and its diverse and rich traditions, knowledge systems, ancestral languages, cultural roots and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2021 Festival features twelve days of live and online events, including music, stories, poetry, theatre, ceremony, films, readings, forums, workshops, discussions, art talks, history talks, and visual art exhibitions; including the Art in the Streets<\/strong> program with surprise pop-up music and spoken word activities on sidewalks and small plazas throughout the historic district.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
