Tiffin Talk: IYKYK

  • Ocean Artworks Pavillion 1531 Johnston Street Vancouver, BC, V6H 3S6 Canada (map)

Presented as part of Indian Summer Festival’s Tiffin Talks series

What if your first encounter with a work of art is not by looking but listening?

Writer, curator and art historian, Sadia Shirazi leads IYKYK, an intimate Tiffin Talk that begins with a series of readings—inviting us to reimagine how we experience art beyond the gallery wall. The readings will scaffold our discussion of artwork, wall labels, materiality, provenance, language, access, opacity, land, steadfastness, and the intersections of postcolonial and Indigenous cosmologies.

Following the dialogue, enjoy a warm, nourishing Indian lunch served in traditional Indian-style tiffins. Gathered inside the outdoor, covered, Ocean Artworks Pavilion, this event invites you to slow down, share a meal, and rethink how we pay attention.

This event will be Live Captioned, and will include ASL interpretation.

Date: Sunday, July 6th, 2025
Event Time: 3:00 p.m
