Exploring the use of spoken word, music, video, social media, movement, theatre, and creative technology, Johnny’s practice integrates the multi-layered realities within which we exist to create immersive spoken word exper...iences.

Introducing Grace Sinats. You can hear Grace's talk as part of our up coming live on-line event. Pick up your complimentary tickets and join us. Saturday March 27th at 9:30am Pacific Grace is a 15-year-old climate activist, and passionate advocate for lowering the voting age in Canada. From a young age, Grace became infuriated with the government’s actions around the Site C dam, and the Kinder Morgan pipeline. She felt powerless as the environment and her future slipped away.... Watching this destruction, Grace strived to make her voice heard. She decided to be silent no longer and joined a local climate striking group near the start of 2019. She joined Our Earth Our Future, a group demanding intersectional and just climate action through all areas of governance. In 2019, during a global week of action, her group mobilized over 20,000 people onto the streets of Victoria BC, which led to a meeting with the current minister of Climate Change Strategy. What she did not expect is that even though she was able to speak, she still felt she was not listened to. This did not discourage Grace, and since then she has organized over 4 successful climate strikes. Although Grace was able to share her message to the general public, she still felt that her MP’s and MLA’s were not listening. Once Grace found the Vote16 movement, she finally saw a way to be heard. Grace’s talk centres on her vision for a more just, equitable society, where all voices are heard. She argues that the reason young people do not vote is not because they think politics is boring, it’s because as a society we make it inaccessible. #tedxbearcreekpark #TEDx #FreeOnlineEvent #onlineevent #tedxspeaker #gracesinats #climatechange #VotingAge
