Join Inspired Word Café and Centre Culturel Francophone de l'Okanagan at Studio On Water for a plurilingual night of music, storytelling, and poetry!
This year’s Nuit Blanche theme is “Of the Nature of Things,” which is an invitation to explore the interconnections between humanity, nature, and transformation through diverse artistic lenses. At the Many Tongues Open Mic, all languages are welcome!
Many Tongues will be hosted in French and feature local writers and musicians who will read and perform works in a variety of different languages, including Tamil, French, Swiss-German, and more! Priority for the Open Mic will be given to French and other bilingual speakers.
Organized by the Centre Culturel Francophone de l’Okanagan (CCFO) since 2013, Nuit Blanche transforms the city into a true artistic laboratory. Cultural venues, shop windows, parking lots, alleyways, empty spaces, and local businesses all become unexpected stages for temporary art and public engagement.
Most Nuit Blanche events are free and open to all, encouraging spontaneous discovery and participation from a broad audience.
This event is held in collaboration with Nuit Blanche, Centre culturel francophone de l'Okanagan, and Espaces francophones UBCO. Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna and the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan.
We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work in the unceded, ancestral territory of the Syilx people. It is a privilege to be able to put on events as uninvited guests on their land.
