Speaker Inquiry for Panel on Wild Salmon

Standard

My name is Maia and I’m the curator of the 350 Films for Justice series that will be launching February 28, 2017 in Vancouver. We will be screening Salmon Confidential for our first film screening and I’m looking for people to speak on a Q+A panel following the screening on the issue of wild salmon in BC.  

The intent of this series is to create a space for community engagement, dialogue and solidarity on social-eco justice related issues in the BC region. 350 Vancouver will be organizing monthly screenings at the Hive every 28th of the month. We hope to use this event and space to connect attendees to local community and create critical connections and dialogue on intersecting issues that relate to the place we all call home.

Do you know anyone who might be interested in this from the Land and Food Systems program? Or is the email able to be forwarded to graduate students who might be interested?  

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! 

All the best,

Maia Wikler
