This is a free event for Anoushka Shankar concert ticket holders. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
In March of 1914, hundreds of Punjabi migrants arrived at Coal Harbour in Burrard Inlet aboard the SS Komagata Maru only to be denied entry into Canada.
UBC Associate Professor Dr. Renisa Mawani discusses the impact of this historical event in light of Anoushka Shankar’s latest album, Land of Gold, and its focus on the current refugee crisis.
