# Event Details - **Event Name**: Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: We’re excited to invite you to our Saltwater Tongues event series, a creative community gathering where poetry meets environmental justice.About this EventLast year, we heard stunning poems about marine mammals, bull kelp, and the sense of connection people have to the ocean, along with many other profound stories.Join us Saturday, June 6th, at Caffe Fantastico (Quadra Village) for an evening that welcomes everyone to listen, share, and speak into being a more just and resilient future.This year, we're co-hosting this event with the Gorge Waterway Action Society, the BC Climate Emergency Campaign, and the University of Victoria Sustainability Project. Together we want to explore how climate intersects with the Salish Sea, and what it means to live in coastal communities in these times. We think its important to work together to make change in the communities we live in, and by bringing together all of these rad orgs, we make space for pathways to action that everyone can participate in. We'll have a Community Action table that people can engage with, and will have lots of opportunities to chat about poetry, change-making, and how we can build community in times of precarity.Importantly, we want this to be a fun and accessible space. Bring your own words, the words of others, or any form of creative expression that moves you. Whether you're sharing or simply soaking it in, this night is about connecting through art, transformation, and community care. It will provide a space to reflect on how resilience moves through both bodies and water.We’ll also have resources on how to take action for the Salish Sea, because we know storytelling and advocacy belong together.“Listening is not only about the normative ability to hear, it is a transformative and revolutionary resource.” — Alexis Pauline GumbsWe look forward to seeing you there! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/victoria/saltwater-tongues-community-art-and-poetry-night/100001989273050243 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Victoria - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Caffe Fantastico - **lat**: 48.4373321 - **long**: -123.358983 - **full address**: Caffe Fantastico, 965 Kings Road, Victoria, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8222caa99aee848a24f9909c69d1378fd8b16feaa1810bb7c1f5fd153f0bf283-rimg-w1200-h600-dc074764-gmir.jpg?v=1778670094 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night being held? - **A:** Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night takes place on Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Caffe Fantastico, 965 Kings Road, Victoria, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night? - **A:** Saltwater Tongues: Community Art & Poetry Night is organized by Georgia Strait Alliance. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
