Celebrate Family Day weekend by bringing your entire family to UBC on Sunday, February 11 from 10am to 5pm for a day where kids and youth will be given meaningful roles, working alongside staff and volunteers to participate in the life of arts and culture. Takeover Day, first launched in the UK, is a celebration of children and young people’s contributions to museums, galleries, arts organizations, archives and heritage sites.
ALL INCLUSIVE PROGRAM:
Fredric Wood Theatre: Th’owxiya: The Hungry Feast Dish by Joseph A. Dandurand (1-3pm)
For all ages, six storytellers from the Kwantlen Village called Squa’lets spin the First Nations tale of TH’OWXIYA: THE HUNGRY FEAST DISH. The mouth of Th'owxiya holds the most wonderful foods from around the world. But, if you steal from her, you will pay a terrible price, for Th’owxiya eats children! This show promises to engage the whole family through creative storytelling and humour.
