An important read about our festival

An exploration and excavation of the affects of diaspora and dislocation, The New Village Festival is a collaboration of diverse performance artists addressing the impact that globalization/re-location has on their communities. The six featured performance artists: Molly Carney, Pierce McGarry, Katie Yurychuk, Quan Zhou, L i s a Gliederpuppe, and Cale W examine the benefits and costs of ‘The New Village” that globalization has created. The festival will take place on the eclectic and infamous Vancouver Wreck beach. By creating a forum in a natural public setting to analyze the stigmas surrounding immigration, the paradoxes of multiculturalism, nationalism, dominant culture, and the let-go/cling surrounding ethnic/cultural traditions in modern times The New Village Festival hopes to promote and encourage a shift in individual thinking towards world citizenship.

"I ask myself ‘Who am I’? as source for the most of my projects. To give an answer to that question I have to investigate: ‘Who are you?’."

Quan has a background of video art but now she is a curios child stepping into the world of performance art.

Molly Carney led the tragic life as a lactose intolerant born and raised in America’s Dairyland. The cultural rejection associated with this forced Carney 2,059 miles Westward (3,314 km) to Vancouver, BC Canada where the cost of cheese is greater than its weight in gold. Carney is now receiving her BMA in Film, Video and Integrated Media at Emily Carr University.
