Where worlds converge, Pure Hearted Junction gathers at the intersection of many dualities— past and present, dystopia and resilience. In a neighborhood that carries many histories, we gather in gratitude to honour the people and relationships that have sustained this community. Celebrating the possibilities that emerge when we meet one another with open and pure hearts.

A team of Seniors who are full of Passion for the life and the land we are settling through the Free Dance. That helps recover, reduce pain and become strong.

Jesse Blanchard (b. 1986) is an anti-disciplinary artist residing on the ancestral lands of the xʷməθkwə ̓y əm, Skwxwú7mesh, Sə̓lílwətaɬ, and kʷikʷə ̓ƛ əm peoples.
For Blanchard, the act of making art serves as a productive space to challenge concepts of social etiquette and deviance. Drawing from personal experiences with mental illness and gender euphoria, their work functions as a form of self-portraiture. These investigations into identity, neurosis, and queerness manifest across a variety of mediums, including drawing, sculpture, and video.
Blanchard’s explorations are characterized by self-deprecation, dark humour, and momentary discomfort. Blanchard seeks to create a space for challenging perceptions of identity and societal norms.


Kitty Guerin is a xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) mixed artist/artist-of-sorts. She works with a broad range of material including graphite, coloured pencil and acrylic paint. Her art is used as a form of self expression and reflection and she plans to expand her career as an artist by both inspiring and being inspired.
