Next up for Pride at Night we have Nimkish! To fully immerse in the multitudes of Indigenous rising star Nimkish is to honour the past, look ahead to the future, and bask in the resplendent present all at once. The Vancouver-based marvel-in-the-making is fearless in her lyricism, confronting anti-Indigenous racism and colonial violence alongside other hard subjects like anxiety, grief and heartache. Tune in via Zoom on Saturday June 26th, 2021 from 7pm for performances from Nimkish and more!
