Arts hot ticket: Powell Street Festival

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Amid the sumo demos and sushi of this year's Powell Street Festival—celebrating Japanese Canadian culture on Saturday and Sunday (August 3 and 4) in the Downtown Eastside—make sure to check out Henry Tsang’s 360 Riot Walk. The immersive video experience tracks the mob that led the 1907 Anti-Asian attacks that ripped the neighbourhood apart.

      On a lighter note, June Fukumura’s clown alter ego Sumiko (shown here) leads a whacked-out game show, and TEKE::TEKE brings its own mashup of Japanese surf rock and indie shoegaze to the mainstage both days.
