John Korsrud talks about composition, his formative years learning from Hugh Fraser, and his seven times going to Burning Man. John is a composer and trumpeter in Vancouver who is known for his Juno-nominated big band, the Hard Rubber Orchestra, and for its parallel band Orquestra Goma Dura as well as his newer large ensemble called Absolute Unit. As a trumpeter, John also plays frequently with Cat Toren, Jillian Lebeck, Jon Bentley, and many more of our finest musicians. He discusses his love of Vancouver, spending time in Amsterdam, and that time he got stranded on the highway between two rock slides. John Korsrud's Absolute Unit plays a free concert at SFU Woodward's on October 20.Become a member for free today at rhythmchanges.ca.

Rebecca F. Kuang shot to #1 on the New York Times bestsellers list with her previous novels Babel and the Poppy War Trilogy. She joined the Vancouver Writers Fest, Massy Books, and SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs with her new literary thriller, Yellowface—a timely and cutting satire that investigates racism in the publishing industry and beyond. She speaks here with Writers' Trust of Canada Rising Star Eddy Boudel Tan about transparency in publishing; the nuances of cultural identity and appropriation; Asian representation and stories; and her perspective on Yellowface's messy main character.
The long wait is over: John Rebus, detective inspector and the central protagonist of Edgar Award and Diamond Dagger recipient Ian Rankin's acclaimed series, is back in A Heart Full of Headstones. In this 24th book in the now televised series, Rankin brings new intrigue and suspense to the dark of Edinburgh, in what Publishers Weekly called “one of his best Rebus novels in years.” He joined us in partnership with SFU Woodward's Cultural Programs, to speak with local detective writer and Juno-nominated comedian Charles Demers about the craft of sleuths, scandals, and (of course) murder.
Welcome to "Tiffin Talks – Zanani / Zamana / Zameen", the final episode of our #ISF2020 season! In this in-depth discussion between writer Shauna Singh Baldwin, filmmaker Baljit Sangra, and visual artist Sandeep Johal, moderated by Suvi Bains, the artists reflect on the clash of tradition and modernity within the context of patriarchy and gender inequality and share how their work creates space for South Asian voices. We couldn't be prouder of it and hope it’s as invigorating and stimulating for you as it was for us. Listen and let us know what you think and what came up for you as you did.

In our new podcast episode, Joseph Stiglitz and Arjun Jayadev, two of the world’s most renowned economists, explore whether the pandemic offers an unprecedented chance for a new social contract to emerge. What would it take to build a kinder and more equitable economic world on the other side of this, and what can we do to get the next decade right?

For centuries, poetry has been the literary form that has told the stories of our times. Poets have been the chroniclers of our battles, the heralds of our celebrations and the ones who have offered us solace in times of need. Join me and my co-host (poet, spoken word artist, organiser) Anjalica Solomon as we take you from Vancouver to Mumbai to Abu Dhabi for a series of intimate readings by outstanding poets from around the world, offering us literature as shelter, medicine and mirror.

Legendary environmental warriors Vandana Shiva and David Suzuki, come together in this rare conversation across continents. Both are past winners of the ‘Right Livelihood Prize’ often referred to as the ‘alternative Nobel’, and have had enormous local and global impact through their work. Now, in the middle of a global pandemic, they invite us to consider the opportunity we have to change our ways of being as a species, and how we must truly be “all in this together”.

Welcome back to the Arts Report. On today's show we talked a little about what the PuSh Festival is and what we will be covering. We then heard an interview with one of the actors of Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ben Caplan. After some ads and PSAs we highlighted the importance of Fundrive and some cool stuff that you can get when you donate certain amounts! We then talked about MOA and its importance, but better yet about their new-ish/current exhibition Playing with Fire: Ceramics of the Extraordinary. Spoiler alert: it is extraordinary! We then did an overview of a few different shows happening this and next week including: BERLIN: The Last Cabaret, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the Reel Causes presents Dosed at SFU Woodward's, and the super fin SMASH Comedy Festival. We finished the show with a reminder that the 3rd Annual Siloam Theatre Festival has open calls for artists until March.

How well do you know the local music scene in Vancouver? On this episode of Below the Radar, we sit down with Jarrett Martineau, a figure who is very well acquainted with the music scene both locally and abroad. On a local level, Jarrett works as the Music Planner for the City of Vancouver, where he works hard to support the Vancouver music scene and all aspects within that. He is also the host of Reclaimed, which is a weekly series on CBC Music that explores the many worlds of contemporary Indigenous music. In this conversation, we talk to Jarrett about how affordability affects available venues, the diverse array of music being created within the city, and the power of providing the platform of radio to early career musicians. To learn more about CBC’s Reclaimed, you can visit their website here: https://www.cbc.ca/mediacentre/program/reclaimed. You can also learn more about the Culture|Shift Plan for the City of Vancouver here: https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/culture-shift.aspx. Back in October, we collaborated with Jarrett on an events at SFU Woodward’s called “Songs of the Land: Tracing Global Pathways in Indigenous Music”. You can listen to the audio for that talk here: https://soundcloud.com/sfuw-community-engagement/songs-of-the-land.
At BC’s Simon Fraser University, “the Engaged University,” the slogan is much more than mere marketing; it’s the focus for the institution’s planning framework. (Although yes, it also helps differentiate the university’s brand.) SFU president Andrew Petter invited Ken Steele for a campus site visit late last year, and this is the first of many episodes that will be the result. Since the brand launched in 2012, SFU’s Engagement Strategy has articulated how the institution will make a strategic priority of engagement: Engaging Students through active and experiential learning, community service learning, co-ops and business incubators. Engaging Research by partnering with people and organizations in the community and worldwide for mutual benefit. Engaging Communities beyond mere philanthropy. SFU doesn’t just provide value, but gains value in the process. See “SFU: Engaging the World” at https://youtu.be/QeHcNcdAglo What’s most striking about the SFU vision is how it has been thoroughly socialized across all of its campuses, from Burnaby to Surrey and downtown Vancouver. Ken heard about engagement loud and clear when he spoke with Howard Jang (then the Director of SFU Woodward’s Cultural Unit), Joy Johnson (VP Research & International), Shawn Smith (Co-Director of RADIUS SFU social innovation lab and venture incubator), Sarah Lubik (Director of Entrepreneurship & Innovation), Shauna Sylvester (Director, SFU Centre for Dialogue), and Am Johal (Director of SFU’s VanCity Office of Community Engagement). More from these interviews will appear in future episodes! SFU students even put the theme to music in this official anthem, created for SFU’s 50th anniversary: https://youtu.be/L1AfIcsDNxU The vision has taken root across the campus because the commitment to engagement has been “part of the DNA” of the institution for decades. It was not a top-down strategy, but it has helped to focus and motivate faculty and staff efforts -- and as it has started to shape hiring decisions, the momentum for engagement continues to build. One of SFU’s signature engagement programs is the Public Square, which organizes speakers and events that can be shared, both online and through mass media partnerships, to engage the broader public in dialogue. https://youtu.be/sxVGSFchR2c SFU also clearly invests the resources necessary to produce top-quality video content for use in the classroom and for the public. And SFU’s commitment to engaging the public includes developing some of the best higher ed April Fool’s videos in the world. (See our episode on “Higher Ed Hijinks” at https://youtu.be/I2v4DnFX_Oo ). Next week, we’ll look at some even more “concrete” ways in which SFU contributes to community-building, investing in physical infrastructure to engage and even create communities.
