As we continue our quarantine interviews, Kevin speaks with Kristen Kaza (Party Producer and Community Enthusiast) about her continuous efforts to host cultural events within the virtual world. Kristen talks about making the monthly SloMo Party, typically hosted at The Whistler, into a virtual party that has now honed the name SloMo From Homo; the challenges of postponing and completely cancelling events; re-evaluating what it means to host accessible occasions, and much more.
SloMo Party takes place every 3rd Thursday of the month and while we continue to social distance, SloMo Party will virtually host their event via Instagram and Facebook Live. The next SloMo From Homo is Thursday, April 16th. To learn more visit: www.slomoparty.com
