Diaspora Dialogues supports the creation and presentation of new fiction, poetry and drama that reflect the complexity of the city back to Torontonians 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 The Maytree Foundation, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Canadian Heritage, Canada Council for the Arts and the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council.
