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.
