Angelica Poversky is five-foot-three of vertically challenged creative passion who uses spoken words to create movements of thought. She’s always trying to think of new ways to use words and is perplexed by language. She is the founder and festival director of Richmond’s first youth-led outdoor arts festival, Arts in the Park, and is always on the go when it comes to artistic event coordination. If you see Proversky in her natural habitat, she is probably reading her first poetry chapbook — She Is, hosting a radio-show or fearing proper punctuation. She’s also among Vancouver’s Top 24 under 24, Richmond’s 30 under 30 and a Richmond Arts Award Winner. She’s also been on the author panel at National Culture Days, a speaker at The Top 25 under 25 Canadian Environmentalists Awards and the feature performer at the CHIMO Violence Against Women Conference.
