Asian Heritage Month at Southcentre Mall
Asian Heritage Month activities began on May 14th at Southcentre Mall, in partnership with GlobalFest. As the celebrations at Southcentre come to a close, it is vital to acknowledge the impact that these events have had. Beautiful displays combined with cultural history create a really unique experience when going through Centre Court in Southcentre. Together with Southcentre we have tailored a mall into where culture meets community in an interactive space where China, India and Philippines Calgary communities are able to share and demonstrate their vibrant and rich traditions. GlobalFest is happy to have been invited to collaborate with Southcentre
Painting History: The Sacred Art Shared from Blackfoot Crossing to GlobalFest
Vibrant paints and meaningful narratives filled the walls of the GlobalFest warehouse this last weekend when the GlobalFest team was honoured by working with the blank canvas of their own tipi, gifted from Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. This was a truly prestigious honour. But, with that honour comes enormous responsibility. We take pride in the partnership we have developed with Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park. We are also their biggest external partner. Although it may seem to simply be a shelter, the tipi reflects the history and traditions of Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park, as well as GlobalFest's 15-year partnership with Blackfoot Crossing.
