Supernatural Kiki Ball with Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week x VVJ

Khelsilem 007 is organizing their first Mini Kiki Ball presented by VAN VOGUE JAM x Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week at Performance Works Theatre.

Inspired by the supernatural beings of our past, present, and future, the SUPERNATURAL BALL celebrates all things above and beyond our natural world. Every culture celebrates figures, beings, and things who behaved or intervened outside the natural order of things. Join us as we pay homage to our supernatural origins.

The Ballroom scene in Vancouver teams up with Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week in the unceded territory with the Supernatural Ball.

Khelsilem 007 invites you to strut up the Vancouver runway for an extravagant evening of runway divas, sickening vogue battles, bending realness, and seductive bodies in competition for grand cash prizes.

Through Van Vogue Jam, Ballroom culture in Vancouver has grown over the past eight years as a safe space for queer communities to celebrate and share their artistry of fashion, art, and performance on the runway.

Whether you’re a Ballroom cheerleader, a runway walker, or a balcony voyeur, this is a fashion and dance extravaganza not to miss. All are welcome!
