(Un)Told: Book Launch & Community Celebration
Join us for the (Un)Told: Immigrant Voices of Resilience Book Launch and Community Celebration.
This event marks a moment of recognition for those who have shared their stories and voices, and a moment of collective celebration of resilience and gathering in community.
Stacks of the anthology will be available at the event for you to browse and a copy to take home (at no cost).
Light catering will be available at the start of the event through our catering partner Super Syrian Foods.
The space will be curated to allow for a flow in conversation, reflection, reading, browsing, snacking, resting, and engaging in a creative activity.
Please feel free to come at a time that works best for you. More details about the event will be shared closer to the event date with those who register.
ABOUT
(Un)Told: Immigrant Voices of Resilience is a community-based book project created by Yasemin that works to carve a small collective space for immigrants to share stories of resilience through poetry, prose, and art. This project honours the voices and stories of immigrants across Canada. From Australia to Afghanistan, Palestine, Nigeria, Mexico, and more. The Submissions of thirty-six unique Contributors are brought together through shared resilience in this colourful and rich mosaic that is the anthology.
The book launch is produced in collaboration with The 525 Art Pop-Ups, a nonprofit arts organization rooted in Treaty 6 Territory and active across Canadian cities. The 525's Community Collaborations model is built to support exactly this kind of work — amplifying community-led cultural projects by offering organizational infrastructure, production capacity, and curatorial partnership. (Un)Told is a natural home for that model: a project that belongs fully to its contributors, supported by a team committed to making space for it.
The book is supported by the Canadian Red Cross and Government of Canada. The event is supported by Weston Frontlines Centre.
