CBC Vancouver is proud to sponsor the Indian Summer Festival
July 7-16
CBC Vancouver is a proud sponsor The Indian Summer Festival. For ten days every July, Indian Summer Festival presents provocative multi-disciplinary art events in Vancouver. Now in its sixth year, the festival features a series of events that feature some of the finest artists and visionaries from Canada, South Asia and beyond.
The theme for this year's festival is 'Border Crossings' and includes Oscar prize-winning filmmakers to emerging young writers.
Some Festival highlights include:
- Opening Gala: Vikram Vij challenges some of Vancouver's top chefs to create Indian-inspired street food
- Rajasthan Josh and Friends in Concert: Vancouver gets a taste of one of the best examples of this musical conversation this summer when the Indian music sensation Rajasthan Josh takes over the Orpheum with a host of friends.
- Seeding the Future An Evening with Vandana Shiva: In a rare Vancouver appearance, Dr. Shiva will inform and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders in the fight to protect nature and people's rights to knowledge, biodiversity, water and food. Dr. Shiva reminds us that all starts with a seed.
- 5 X 15 Vancouver: 5 X 15 features five stellar speakers, speaking for fifteen minutes each on a topic they are deeply passionate about. The only rules: the talk should be unscripted, and fifteen minutes long.
Indian Summer Festival is produced by the Indian Summer Arts Society, a charitable not-for-profit arts organization based in Vancouver, Canada.
