Project Overview

DIA hosted a creative storytelling workshop at the Bentway, co-facilitated with Justine Abigail Yu of Living Hyphen. The session was tailored to elevate and amplify the voices of BIPOC and marginalized communities through storytelling.

Project Description & Outcomes

The workshop was part of DIA’s broader practice of community-based storytelling, designed around the goals, projects, and individuals in the room. It reflected an ongoing partnership with Living Hyphen, a community that explores the experiences of hyphenated Canadians — from diverse regions, backgrounds, and identities across the country.

What we Practiced

  • Telling the Truth
  • Practicing Curiosity

What we Imagined

Public and cultural spaces that are genuinely open to the complexity of hyphenated, newcomer, and marginalized identities — where storytelling isn’t a side program but the main event.
