The Threads Between Us - A Public Weaving Project
TIME: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
LOCATION: Pioneer Memorial Park (275 Knowle St, Port Moody)
ARTIST: Elizabeth Raposo
This project is an experiential space that encourages festival goers of all ages to participate in the collective creation of a tangible representation of our effect on the community around us. An A-frame tent will be warped with thread and fabric yarn will be provided for participating in the creation of the tapestry covering the tent frame. This installation affords a structure to experience as well as to make and encourages festival goers of all ages, abilities, and interests to participate in the exhibit. The Threads Between Us is a reminder of the deeply entwined connection we all share and our effect on our collective creations, whether we simply exist, observe, and/or create in the space. Participation, experimentation, and questions are encouraged!
"I am so excited to see this project come to life! I am looking forward to working with participants at Art Out Side and hope to inspire others to experiment with making things that speak to them!"

Colombia, Diversity in Motion
TIME: 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM

This performance celebrates Colombia's ethnic diversity through its traditional dances and the magic of live music. The production weaves together Afro-Colombian, Indigenous, and mestizo heritage, narrating profound experiences from across the country. The dance journey explores the vibrant energy of the Pacific coast with the oriplayando, aguabajo, and currulao; the sensuality of the Atlantic cumbia; the playful spirit of the rural rumba; and the tradition of the Huila sanjuanero. All of this is harmonized by the live flute of John Contina, who plays pasillos and bambucos from the Andean region, creating a vibrant cultural experience that is both visual and sonic.
