Reading and talk by Anakana Schofield
Jun 13, 2026, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Free admission. Register via link in bio.

Western Front is pleased to present an afternoon with the writer Anakana Schofield to launch her latest novel 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘭 (Knopf Canada, 2026). Loosely inspired by the architecture and atmosphere of Western Front’s own building, the novel imagines a precarious and unruly space shaped by labour, care, and collective survival.

The event will begin with a conversation with curator, cultural worker, and writer Caitlin Jones, and will be followed by a reading from the book by Schofield.

Copies of 𝘓𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘭 will be available for purchase at the event from Pulpfiction Books. Tea, coffee, and light refreshments will be available.

John Culbert @jbculbert inspects a print from his new exhibition of photographs at CSA Space above PFB Main Street, opening this evening from 6-9pm.

After some prompting, I made a list of my current favorites for the new webstore:

Alisa with Textile. Acrylic, ink and graphite on 20”by18” panel. 2024.

Included by way of preview for a large portraiture survey coming to Vancouver later this Autumn, ‘Alisa with Textile’ is my contribution in a collaborative pairing with @alisa_mcronald: I produced a portrait of her, and she one of me. As a part of this collaboration, I’d asked Alisa to also produce a self-portrait—her first—which I’d include as a visual echo. This textile, hand-punched reclaimed yarns on burlap with a cotton backing, appears in Slide 4, again documented by @racheltophamphotography. Slide 5 is a WIP image of Alisa’s portrait of me.

Still up and available for viewing in Vancouver @csaspace, PROVISIONAL REALISM has been extended until 10 May. Thank you again to everyone involved in making this a success, and @cj_brayshaw for your support.
