TOK 5 Rock Reading

Welcome to Diaspora Dialogues

Diaspora Dialogues supports the creation and presentation of new fiction, poetry and drama that reflect the complexity of the city through the eyes of its richly diverse writers. Publishing and mentoring activities, as well as a monthly multidisciplinary performance festival, help encourage the creation of a literature that is vibrant and inclusive, while bringing these works to a wide audience. Diaspora Dialogues is supported by Maytree, Canadian Heritage, Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council, the George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation, TO Live With Culture, the Vital Toronto Fund at the Toronto Community Foundation, and RBC Foundation.

How confident are you in pitting your literary knowledge against fellow Torontonians? Ready for a literary scavenger hunt from one end of Queen’s Park to the next? Ready to get up close and personal with a writer?

Join Diaspora Dialogues @ this year’s Word on the Street, for a Sunday afternoon chase of literary clues, lines of poetry, personalized readings, books open and waiting for your contribution – and all manner of literary oddities.

Complete the hunt and win a prize. All prize winners will be automatically entered into the Grand Prize draw, taking place at the end of the day.

Featuring Anthony De Sa, Priscila Uppal, Farzana Doctor, Shawn Micallef, Marianne Apostolides, Kyle Greenwood, Dawn Promislow, and more.
