The Georgia Straight proudly sponsors Lulu Series: Art in the City

On May 4, 7 p.m., as part of Lulu Series: Art in the City, Eric and Mia will share the different ways in which they create community through performance at the Richmond City Hall Council Chambers (6911 No. 3 Road, Richmond).

Eric and Mia are interdisciplinary visual artists, facilitators, and community organizers who create community-specific, relational, and participatory works that invite audiences to become active agents in the creation of community.

The talk will be preceded by a performance by spoken-word poet Dia Davina.

The Lulu Series: Art in the City lectures are presented free of charge. However, seating is limited so interested parties should send an RSVP to lulu@richmond.ca.
