From Grave to Grace

November 11, 2024 - 7:30pm

The Annex, Vancouver

Duration: 15 min

 

This event is an opening music for the "Songs from the East"

Performance by Grace Zakko

Description

Delving beneath layers of stored cultural and generational traumas, Grace’s voice travels far, invoking the miracle that transports her to a new land. Only to find out that her soul couldn’t LAND… in any PLACE... until she was ready to take a STAND… FOR... AND… AS… GRACE.

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
