CURRENT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS


The people selected to be part of the program have demonstrated a strong commitment to responsible cultural creation, with practices that question normative aspects of society and move towards the making of a world we want to exist in.

We were inspired by the quality and variety of the applications we received, and are excited to learn about the different self-initiated + community based practices in Vancouver and beyond. Thank you to all applicants for their time and dedication to our community.
