Mainz (Germany) is located where the river Mainz intersects with the river Rhine and from Frankfurt it is a beautiful bike ride along the river Mainz on a segregated bike path. To cross the Rhine, you get to use a small track along the train bridge, which is pretty cool.

Despite many odds, recordings of the ancestral Songs of the Kwakwaka’wakw were created and survived. In January 2023 at Vancouver's Bill Reid Gallery, Ligwiłda'xw Kwakwaka’wakw multidisciplinary artist Sonny Assu gave a virtual artist talk about the chance rediscovery of this music, featuring his great-grandfather chief Billy Assu, and how a deepening knowledge of his heritage has influenced and featured in his practice and art work.
Another fabulous performance produced by Sleepy Queers Productions. Homo Hardware quipped the evening along, Dust provided the rocking music and steady beat, and the talented performers entertained with their presence.
These evenings are such a joyful event. This crowd is welcoming, warm, and cheers loudly. So many beautiful people!!
