Sink or Swim — Singing Through the Noise
This spring, Séan McCann — The Shantyman — returns with a new set of original songs, alongside the trusted favourites audiences know and love, for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the moment we’re living in.
Between constant noise, relentless headlines, and the pressure to keep moving without pause, Sink or Swim asks a simple but vital question: how do we stay afloat when the world feels louder, faster and heavier by the day.  Armed with his guitar, and an unwavering commitment to truth, Séan invites audiences into a shared space of reflection, resilience, and release — where singing isn’t optional, it’s essential.
These are songs about the undertow — and what we do to resist it. About finding your breath when everything feels urgent. About choosing presence over panic, connection over isolation, and humanity over noise.
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter. The choice is yours: Sink or Swim.
 
**Online ticket sales end at noon day of show**
**Tickets available at the door.  Cash only**

Solve The Island of Life: Taiwan puzzle in teams of four for a chance to win one of three Home of Bubble Tea: Taiwan in Four Scenes puzzles!
To assemble a puzzle is to discover a place, one piece at a time.
Through Taiwan's landscapes, traditions, wildlife, and democratic spirit, this puzzle challenge offers a playful way to engage with the island's cultural identity. As each piece finds its place, participants are invited to explore the stories, memories, and values that shape Taiwan—one piece at a time.
Inspired by Taiwan's landscapes and everyday culture, these illustrated puzzles celebrate the island's rich heritage, creativity, and resilience.
Created by a Taiwanese designer, the collection is rooted in a simple hope: to share Taiwan's stories with the world through art, curiosity, and the quiet joy of puzzling.
四人組隊挑戰《Island of Life: Taiwan》拼圖，成功完成者將有機會抽中《Home of Bubble Tea: Taiwan in Four Scenes》拼圖（共三組）！
這場拼圖挑戰以臺灣的自然風景、文化傳統、野生生態與民主精神為主題，邀請參與者在拼湊每一片拼圖的過程中，感受這座島嶼的故事、記憶與價值，一片一片，慢慢認識臺灣。
這系列拼圖取材自臺灣的山海風景、生活文化與土地記憶，以插畫描繪島嶼的人文風貌、創意能量與堅韌精神。
由臺灣設計師創作，每一幅作品都承載著一個簡單而真摯的心願——透過藝術、好奇心與拼圖的樂趣，邀請更多人認識臺灣，聆聽屬於這座島嶼的故事。
This program is part of TAIWANfest
 
 
About the Artists
 
Hsiao-Wen Lo
Hsiao-Wen Lo loves Taiwan—and she loves puzzles. One day, she thought, Why not bring these two together? That's how Piecing Taiwan into the World was born.
She partnered with Taiwanese illustrator LiTTSE to create puzzles that invite people to discover Taiwan through beauty, curiosity, and play.
Today, she works with public libraries across the United States to share the puzzles, helping Taiwan appear in places where its stories are rarely told.
Each puzzle is her love letter to the island—and an invitation to help Taiwan find its place in the world’s imagination, one shared moment at a time.
駱筱雯是一位熱愛台灣，也熱愛拼圖的人。她發想了「把台灣拼進世界」計畫，並邀請台灣插畫家 LiTTSE 為拼圖創作圖像。透過美感、好奇與遊戲，她希望把心中的台灣溫柔地帶到世界。她與全美各地的公共圖書館合作，分享這些拼圖，讓台灣的故事走到更多地方。每一款拼圖都是她寫給這座島嶼的情書——也是一份邀請，邀請人們將台灣一片一片拚進世界想像中。

Burdock Presents: Luke Borchelt

Beyond Chinese is a conversation series with local artists and people of Chinese ancestry that highlights the diverse personal stories, migration backgrounds, and lived experiences within the community.
5:15pm | Panel 1 - Symbolism or Tokenism: Panelists will explore when symbolic gestures empower communities—and when they slip into tokenism—and discuss accountability and ethical representation.
Panelists: Clr. Lily Cheng, Joanne Wong, Melanie Fernandez 
7:15pm | Panel 2 - Confronting Inward and Reverse Racism: Panelists will explore forms of inward and reverse racism within Chinese-speaking communities. Perspectives from first-generation and 1.5+ generation speakers examine whether these issues are cultural, societal, or systemic—and how they can be addressed constructively.
Panelist: Tong Zhou, Aiko Tomi, Jeanette Kong
 
 
About the Panelists
Lily Cheng, City Councillor (Toronto) 
Lily Cheng is a long-time Willowdale resident, City Councillor, and dedicated community builder who has spent more than a decade bringing neighbours together in moments of crisis, healing, and collective action. She founded North York Moms, co-founded We Love Willowdale in the aftermath of the Yonge Street tragedy, co-founded a local food bank with a holistic approach to care, and led the Willowdale COVID Response Network to support vulnerable residents.
At City Hall, Lily serves as the Mayor’s Champion to Eradicate Intimate Partner Violence and Gender-Based Violence. Her top priority is empowering residents to participate in local democracy. She keeps the community engaged through twice-weekly newsletters, regular surveys, accessible events, and her signature Spaghetti Town Halls, creating space for open dialogue and ensuring residents’ voices help shape decisions.
Lily champions thoughtful planning, innovation, and stronger community services, including advancing participatory budgeting across Willowdale and securing a future Willowdale Intercultural Hub. Her leadership is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to listening—because a stronger community starts with engaged residents.
 
Joanne Wong, Educator
Joanne Wong is a second-generation Chinese Canadian educator who is passionate about building cultures that connect people through humanizing, relational approaches. Grounded in intercultural communication, her work is especially attentive to those often overlooked and the “invisible” qualities within individuals that shape new connections, meanings, and possibilities.
Across professional and community contexts, Joanne draws on her lived experience, relational networks, and the practice of working resourcefully with those already present to support people in navigating complex systems and diverse spaces. She is a co-creator of “A Story of And,” a resource that invites reflection on the interconnectedness of all things, using East Asian racism as an entry point for conversation and collective learning.
Outside of her advocacy for systemic change, Joanne can often be found running, spending time with her kids, or doing what she does best—creatively making something out of “whatever happens to be there,” including random leftovers in her fridge.
 
Melanie Fernandez, Arts & Cultural Leader and Educator
Melanie Fernandez has over 25 years of leadership experience in the arts and cultural sectors with a focus on exploring innovative frameworks for producing and learning through community-engaged intersectional practices. Her work is rooted in inclusionary platforms that ensure postcolonial representation of racialized and Indigenous stories.
Leadership positions include; Interim Executive Director, Woodland Cultural Centre, Director Cultural Engagement & Activation Department and Artistic Producer at Harbourfront Centre; Community Arts Officer at the Ontario Arts Council, Director of Education at the Art Gallery of Ontario Currently, Melanie teaches and consults.
 
Jeanette Kong, Filmmaker
Jeanette Kong is a Jamaican-born, Chinese-Canadian documentarian who has produced and directed several films about the Hakka people. Her 2012 feature Finding Samuel Lowe: From Harlem to China aired on PBS and the Africa Channel and was the winner of the audience award at the 2015 Reelworld Film Festival in Toronto. Jeanette’s latest film, A Brief Record of My Father’s Time at Sea, has been screened at several international film festivals and aired in Canada on TVO.
 
Aiko Tomi, Pop Artist
AIKO TOMI is Taiwanese-Canadian alt pop artist. The Toronto-based provocateur writes songs with hooks, perspectives and wordplay that turn the ordinary into something worth staring at. A classically trained pianist and composer, she was trained to get it right and make it beautiful, but she'd rather get it true, even when true is strange and a bit distorted.
Her sophomore album, Everything Sparks Joy (2025), earned nominations at Taiwan's 16th Golden Indie Music Awards (GIMA) for Best Alternative Pop Album and Best Electronic Song ("BOUNCE"). Animal's Awake (2023) was about reclaiming her body. Everything Sparks Joy was about surviving the contradictions running simultaneously in her mind. Her next chapter goes somewhere rawer, closer to the nerve. The Guardian named "Monolids" (from Animal's Awake) one of its top emerging tracks of the year, and "INVOICE" with Jesse Lucas became a word-of-mouth favorite in Toronto's music community. Singles have landed on Spotify's Fresh Finds, hyperpop, Fresh Finds Pop, and Fresh Finds Dance, as well as Tidal's Dance Pop, with additional coverage from Complex, CBC Radio, and Exclaim!  which praised her "lyrical deftness."
On stage, she performs as if possessed, taking up more room than her body should physically allow — kissing a 70-lb boa before dropping into a full squat, staging an Alien-vs-Sumo showdown, or scaling a stone lion mid-song. Every set feels like something that couldn't have happened any other night. She's specific enough to be unmistakable, strange enough to stay with you.
 
Tong Zhou, Visual Artist
Tong Zhou is a Toronto-based artist whose work examines identity, belonging, and the stereotypes that shape how Chinese-Canadians see themselves and each other. Born in China and now based in Toronto, he has exhibited with TAIWANfest since 2019, including The Courage, (Un)Being Chinese, and a self-portrait in the It's Me and Wǒ exhibition. His current work in progress follows a years-long spiritual journey into living with the concept of "no-self."

Where It's At Entertainment

Join Montreal-based songwriter Sam Krüger for a unique, highly intimate duo performance. Stripped back to a minimalist stage design alongside a single percussionist, this tour date will blend theatrical storytelling, and a rhythm-driven set of music that reimagines his bedroom-style folk recordings as well as songs from his upcoming album live on stage.
The evening kicks off with a special guest performance at 9:00 PM.
Following a failed career at McDonald's, Sam moved to Montréal in order to pursue music.A decade later, he has become known for his vulnerable songwriting. While rooted in folk, his music draws heavily from early R&B, bubblegum pop, vintage crooners, and the emotive jazz stylings of singers like Billie Holiday.Depending on the night, Sam will hit the stage for a stripped-back, captivating solo performance that captures the quiet intimacy of his bedroom-style recordings, or join forces with his powerhouse collective of heavy-hitters (Tim Savard, Neil Robinson, and Brydone Charlton) for an expansive full-band set that leans more into catchy pop melodies and groove. Either way, it’s an evening of music that critic Jacques Boivin once described as "quasi-religious folk that grabs you by the guts but warms you like a soft wind from the south."

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: 作家講座（英／華語進行），自由入場
3:00 PM - 3:30 PM: 女性經驗分享工作坊（華語進行），請報名

【注意】本節目為全華語進行。
本節目邀請台灣知名作家張亦絢從創作歷程出發，分享文學如何回應女性的成長記憶、家庭關係，以及不同世代之間的理解與誤解。
台灣節期待透過文學作為對話的起點，鼓勵華語社區跨世代的女性參與者分享觀點與生命故事，在交流中重新理解彼此，也開啟更多關於性別、情感與生命經驗的對話。
**Join us from 2 PM - 3 PM for the public session, followed by a dedicated discussion space for women from 3 PM - 3:30 PM. 
**This program will be presented in Mandarin Chinese.
This lecture invites renowned Taiwanese queer writer Nathalie Chang (CHANG Yi- Hsum) to examine how literature reflects the lived experiences of women. Using literature as the starting point, this program explores topics of memory, family dynamics, and intergenerational relationships. An open conversation and exchange about gender identity, emotions, and life experiences with the community. 
This program is part of TAIWANfest
 
About the Artist
張亦絢（Nathalie CHANG / CHANG Yi-Hsum）出生於台北市木柵區。青少女時期，她曾在《讀者文摘》上發表過一篇真實故事，並在全國性報紙上發表過小說。 《愛的不久時》、《性意思史》和《永別書》是她最著名的作品。其中，《永別書》被評為台灣文學的代表作之一。
儘管她被視為酷兒小說家並為LGBT+權益發聲，但她的小說仍然對基於性別或民族的認同政治進行了批判。她的作品探討了性創傷、語言和台灣命運等主題，其複雜性令人印象深刻。
她在一個對台灣民主抱持巨大期望的家庭中度過童年。這種親身經歷和孩童般的觀察保有了人們政治行動中的親密性：戒嚴時期的事件，例如美麗島事件、陳文成事件和林宅血案，如何影響兒童成長？張亦絢並不滿足於「記住歷史」這種觀念，而是強調缺乏公眾記憶會對各類受害者造成殘酷和不公。
她以《我討厭過的大人們》榮獲金鼎獎最佳專欄獎。她擁有巴黎索邦大學電影研究碩士學位。她也為《電影欣賞》和台灣文學館的展覽撰稿。兩位加拿大人對她影響深遠：作家劉綺芬和鋼琴家顧爾德。
Nathalie CHANG (CHANG Yi- Hsum) was born in Muzha District, Taipei City. 
She published a true story in Reader’s Digest and several fictional stories in national newspapers during her adolescence. Not Long in Love, Her-History of Sex, and I’m Leaving are among her most famous novels, with I’m Leaving selected as one of the most representative works of Taiwanese literature.
Although she is considered a queer novelist who advocates for LGBT+ rights, her novels also present a critique of identity politics, whether based on gender or national identity. Her work explores themes such as sexual trauma, language, and the fate of Taiwan with impressive complexity.
She spent her childhood in a family that held great expectations for democracy in Taiwan. This firsthand experience and childhood observations preserved the intimacy of popular political action: how did major events during martial law, such as the Formosa Incident, the Chen Wen-cheng Incident, and the Lin Family Massacre, affect children's development? Chang goes beyond the common notion of "remembering history," emphasizing how the lack of public memory brings cruelty and injustice to various victims.
She won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Column Writing for her work "All the Grownups Who Once Bored Me." She holds a Master's degree in Film Studies from Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris and has written for the Film Appreciation Journal and the National Museum of Taiwan Literature. Two Canadians have greatly influenced her: writer Evelyn Lau and pianist Glenn Gould.
