Prepare to experience love as a revolutionary force at the annual closing party of ARTIVISM: Heart On Fire! This year’s theme for the 8th UBC ARTIVISM festival celebrates existing cultures of care while inviting new realities rooted in compassion. Through radically creative spaces and by bringing marginalized artistic expressions to the forefront, we invite you to join us in igniting love toward liberation and setting oppressive systems ablaze.

Join us for a vibrant and spooky evening filled with drag performances, live music, captivating artists, local art vendors, art-making activities, and delicious snacks!
