An event that ties Vancouver into the international day of activism against 
the WTO and corporate globalization. To coincide with the Cancun WTO 
Ministerial September 9- 14, 2003. The roots of carnival in the Americas lie 
in a resistance to oppression, through the powerful expression of cultural 
/community traditions. Through dynamic creative expression, carnival 
celebrations mock the powers that aim to control and oppress. Carnival 
celebrations also unite peoples in their resistance and creation of new 
ways of existing together. We will have space for musicians, actors, 
speakers, storytellers, poets, spoken word artists, visual artists, 
performance artists, organizations who want to educate about the issues 
they are engaged in and willing participants to come and speak out against 
inhuman economics and speak for sustainable alternatives. A family 
oriented event that aims to make the links between what we are experiencing 
locally with what is happening globally. Come joing us! Bring your 
imagination!
