Anjalica Solomon(she/they)

PRODUCTION COORDINATOR

Anjalica Solomon is a genderfluid Desi grassroots organiser and multi-disciplinary performer based in what is colonially known as Vancouver, BC on the stolen and unsurrendered territories of the Coast Salish, Squamish, Tsleil- Waututh and Musqueam Nations.

Anjalica is a leader in the arts and cultural scene, serving as an administrator for organizations such as: Kickstart Disability Arts, UBC Arts and Culture, Verses Festival of Words, the TD Coastal Jazz Festival, The Cultch Theatre and The Downtown Eastside Response Center.

They bring community together wherever they go. Currently they are most excited about the Maza South Asian Canadian Arts Collective which they co-founded.

Their poetic work often seeks to proclaim the possibilities of love and resilience. Anjalica is a poet of startling emotional intellect and candour whose work testifies to a deep faith in beauty, the power of nature, and ultimately, the human capacity to salvage integrity, radiance and joy from moments of struggle. In this way, Anjalica Solomon's poems and performances offer robust visions of hope, tenacity, and love.

Their debut poetry collection "Apocalypse Joy" is out now with Write Bloody North Publishing, and their album "Kissing the Flowers Open" can be heard on all streaming platforms. They are currently exploring new genres such as screenwriting, non-fic and playwriting as an MFA student in The School of Creative Writing at UBC.

Anjalica's life long mission is to bring artist together, and to co-create sacred pockets of soul-level nourishment for collective healing.
