DG has developed a suite of signature feasts and festivals, tied to the seasons and all centred around the power of story and connection across boundaries. Over the years, we have presented our Festival of Story, Harvest Festival, Winter Solstice Festival and our unique 7-Minute Feasts, where neighbours share their favourite dishes as well as their creative talents, joined and supported by professional musicians who form a core Diasporic Genius band for each event. These feasts and festivals continue in Thorncliffe Park, and offer a model adaptable to other communities.
