“Communities in Resistance” is an art show and performance event in solidarity with people who are in danger of intimidation and violence as they work to protect their communities impacted by Canadian mining operations. Approximately 70% of the world’s mining companies are registered in Canada, and in many cases Canadian mining operations are associated with human rights abuses and environmental degradation.

"Communities in Resistance" is in two parts:

1. Spoken Word and Music Performance

2. Visual Art Show

Depending on participants’ interests, Allan will discuss the role of social networks and institutions, resistance to violence, interviewing methods, violence and language, and applications of response-based ideas with individuals and in groups.

Allan Wade lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a therapist and research consultant, with a primary interest in promoting effective and socially just responses in cases of violence and social injustice.
