Exhibiting Art: El Cencerro’s Brujas, Ritos y Aparecidos

10/7/2014

0 Comments

 
El Cencerro in collaboration with Heartwood Community Café bring you Brujas, Ritos y Aparecidos. 

El Cencerro is an online magazine creating a meeting point for Latin American artistists throughout BC to make visible, develop, promote and disseminate artistic efforts that have contributed to maintaining the Latin American identity beyond its regions of origin.The Cencerro, or cowbell, sounds in a space for artistic expression for established and emerging South American artists. El Cencerro is powered only by its movement. It is through the arts, they believe, that we can participate in the cultural life of all communities. 

In honour of ancestors of resistance, the exhibition will coincide with the anniversary of the conquest of the Americas. To commemorate past and present colonial resistance throughout South America, El Cencerro will be bringing weekly events to Heartwood focusing on the solidarity building, celebration, and decolonization throughout October and November. Mark your calendars for exciting events, such as music and dance to writer’s workshops to Day of the Dead celebrations this Fall! 

Brujas, Ritos y Aparecidos’ Art Opening is set for Saturday, October 11th at 6pm at Heartwood Community Cafe. You can check out Heartwood’s online events calendar for El Cencerro’s weekly events in October and November.

Friends of the Cafe: Ch-ch-changes in October!

Ch-ch-changes at Heartwood! It's high time for some changes at Heartwood! If you've visited the cafe lately, you will have noticed a new lay to the land - we've changed our seating. Along with physical space, we have also virtuallyupdated our website with our snazzy new logo. Come by for a visit soon and check it out atheartwoodcc.ca!

Needless to say, our vision for social justice and community continues to be the heart to these shifts and our broader communities (that's you) are riding shotgun with us in this journey! Last week we sent out a survey asking our patrons what would make Heartwood a more fun, accessible, and inclusive space. We've enjoyed reading about your ideas and stories. Please keep them coming! Your words will guide Heartwood's next steps in how we grow our mission and goals. 

You can fill out the survey through the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QXJRMKR

We've got a great selection of beverages (did we mention that we're licensed and have free wifi?) and a delicious menu filled with vegan and gluten-free options. We're looking forward to seeing more of you!

Community Events 

The Feast Worldwide is a day of global dinner parties in 40+ cities across 6 continents. The goal? To spark collaboration that drives local entrepreneurs and social initiatives forward. The idea is simple. Participants host a dinner with those they admire - but instead of talking about problems, they talk about one person’s solution and how they can move it forward. As a social space centred on community collabortation and creation, Heartwood is happy to see events encouraging people to connect and create!

Interested? Make sure to RSVP to the event through this link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-feast-worldwide-vancouver-tickets-12947497313
