Organizer
Historic Joy Kogawa House.
Located in the Marpole neighbourhood of Vancouver, Historic Joy Kogawa House was once the childhood home of acclaimed author Joy Kogawa and her family. Today, the property is a unique live/work space for writers, a space for public events, and an ongoing symbol of the racial discrimination experienced by Japanese Canadians as a consequence of the Second World War. It is a living memory that not only includes Kogawa's work, but it is also engaged in healing discussions with survivors of the harm that happened at the house in the past.
