MNFC community members are invited to join OSO for the first part of their City You Imagined project, a storytelling dinner taking place as part of Nocturne Kjipuktuk/Halifax 2026.

📅 Thursday, August 27, 2026
🕔 5:00–7:00 PM
📍 Granville Park — across from 1949 Upper Water St., Halifax

Gather around a long table in the city for a shared meal, storytelling, and conversation. Together, we’ll imagine a different city and help inspire an immersive installation for Nocturne in October.

💭 If Kjipuktuk was a storybook, what would be in it?

🍽️ Lasagna and salad will be provided, along with all materials. Just bring yourselves and your ideas!

While the original invitation was extended to Atelihai Inuit, this gathering is open to all MNFC community members who would like to take part.

Come share your stories, your vision, and your ideas for the city. 🌿

Everyone is welcome, and we’d love to see you there!
