Join Surel’s Place for the final event of the Boat People program, an evening of readings, storytelling, and community conversation inspired by the film Boat People. This special event brings together artists, writers, and community members to explore themes of memory, migration, identity, resilience, and belonging through spoken word and personal narratives.

Guests will enjoy live readings and reflections that examine how individual experiences become powerful stories capable of connecting people across cultures and generations. The event encourages thoughtful discussion about history, home, and the importance of preserving personal and collective memories.

Following the readings, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an open conversation with presenters and fellow guests, creating a welcoming space for dialogue and cultural exchange.

Whether you attended the earlier From Memory to Sinema workshop or are joining for the first time, this free public event offers an inspiring conclusion to the program and celebrates the power of storytelling through literature, film, and shared experiences.
