SUMMARY:Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act
DESCRIPTION:On June 29th\, the Chinatown Storytelling Centre will open “Our Journey Continues: 100 Years After the Chinese Immigration Act”\, a new special exhibit dedicated to honouring the multigenerational families who pursued their dreams and turned grievances into success. \nThe exhibit shares the lesser-known stories of families with ancestors who lived through the period of exclusion (1923-1947) and the living descendants making their mark in diverse professions. In selecting the stories\, the CSC spotlights ordinary people who are making an important impact in our community today\, including teachers\, doctors\, athletes\, artists\, and community organizers. The majority of the families have a connection to Vancouver’s Chinatown\, the vibrant intersection point of their extraordinary stories reflecting diverse occupations and backgrounds.

SUMMARY:Father Tartuffe: An Indigenous Misadventure
DESCRIPTION:Come experience the world premiere of Father Tartuffe: An Indigenous Misadventure\, a new spin on a timeless comedy\, playing Feb 22–Mar 24 at the Arts Club Theatre Company’s Granville Island Stage! \nAfter coming into some money thanks in part to his government job with Expo 67\, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Canadian Confederation\, Orin (Sam Bob) and his family are living well on the Rez. But when the gullible patriarch welcomes the con artist Father Tartuffe (Aidan Correia) into their home\, his relatives must rally together to save themselves from the imposter’s conniving ways. Can they snap Orin out of his delusions and expose Tartuffe’s less-than-holy intentions? This fresh take on Molière’s most popular play is guaranteed to delight.

SUMMARY:The Beauty of Nature: Paintings by Alex Ji
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTY OF NATURE – PAINTINGS BY ALEX JI \nOpening: Tuesday March 12\, 2024 7-9pm \nExhibition: March 12 – April 10\, 2024\nMonday – Friday 10am-5pm\, Tuesdays until 8pm\, closed on holidays. \nIn recent years\, immigrant artists have significantly enriched Canada’s art scene with their high-quality works. Lipont Gallery is proud to present nearly twenty recent paintings by Alex Ji\, showcasing his unique perspective on the natural beauty of the Greater Vancouver area and beyond. The works are landscape sketches and oil paintings by Ji during the two years he has been living in Canada. They depict the beautiful natural scenery of various regions around the world\, mainly the scenery of the Greater Vancouver area. \nAn accomplished oil painter\, Alex Ji holds degrees from the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts\, where he studied under the renowned artist Professor Yu Xiaodong. With a rich history of international exhibitions and accolades\, Ji has become a celebrated figure in the Metro Vancouver art scene\, known for his realistic yet emotionally charged landscapes. Over the years\, he has participated in art exhibitions held in different countries\, and his works have been published in different publications and collected by collectors. To date\, he has held four solo exhibitions in Metro Vancouver. Since moving to Canada in 2022\, Ji has set up his art studios in Richmond and West Vancouver\, and continues to create with a broader vision and deeper emotions\, bringing his artistic works to a higher level. His works are known for his superb realistic skills and unique artistic perspective. Through careful depiction of details and clever use of colours\, he captures the rich and diverse beauty of nature and displays it on canvas in a deeply touching way. \n“I always adhere to a pure and sincere view of painting. I love to use concrete and realistic painting methods to convey my emotions. In my opinion\, only reality can express my deep love for nature more intuitively. At the same time\, art needs to be expressive\, to touch people’s hearts. Therefore\, in my paintings\, I will strengthen the abstract expression of aesthetic elements\, such as primary and secondary virtuality and reality\, density and concentration\, dry and wet staining\, thin and thick covering\, etc. Such processing not only gives the work a sense of beauty and can convey my emotions more strongly. I particularly enjoy painting Plein Air\, having a dialogue with nature\, and immersing my body and mind in it. Nature is changeable\, it can be quiet and harmonious\, or passionate. Whenever I feel the moment when the scene blends\, it will inspire me. This is the biggest motivation for my creation.” \nIn this exhibition\, the work Echoes of Peace\, which was selected for the 2023 Federation of Canadian Artists Exhibition\, is the highlight of the exhibition. This painting captures a serene landscape with masterful detail and colour\, reflecting nature’s subtle dynamism. Through the control of details and the use of colour expresses the rich and subtle changes in nature\, forming a harmonious natural symphony. The work Pastoral depicts an intoxicating pastoral\, with blue sky and white clouds intertwining in the sky\, and sheep coming from afar\, as if the beautiful pastoral music is purifying our souls. \nFree parking.\nTransit: Canada Line Aberdeen Station \nwww.lipontgallery.ca\nwww.facebook.com/lipontgallery/\nwww.instagram.com/lipontgallery/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuuHgBkttf-fpT_vVAtouqA

SUMMARY:Hotello!
DESCRIPTION:At Hotello\, you must come as a couple. In the middle of the night\, your future love appears. Management is not responsible for any chaos that ensues. \nOur players have come to the hotel seeking answers in their relationships. When their next loves appear (or not)\, they have a small window of opportunity to glean the truth; that is\, if their visitors from the future are ready to cooperate. \nThe temporary appearance of these future partners thrusts the couples into immediacy. They can no longer ignore problems or skirt conversations; the consequences of their actions are right in front of them. In episodic fashion\, hidden secrets and devastating dynamics are exposed. Meanwhile\, the enigmatic owner of the hotel\, John\, seems to have an agenda of his own… \nHis belief that radical honesty is the imperative key to a successful relationship is the play’s heartbeat. It’s always there\, fraying edges or making tummies sick; until it delivers its final proclamation. The longer you prevent truth\, the more impactful its inevitable announcement. \n— \nHotello!\nPresented by I Spy Peaches Productions\nShow run: March 19 – 28 \nProduced by I Spy Peaches\nPlaywright: Bianca Kenna\nDirector: Eric Smith\nAssistant Directors: Katie Cowger & Diego Arciniega\nIntimacy Coordinator and Fight Director: Julie Murphy \nFeaturing:\nDiego Arciniega\nWilliam Edward\nGuy Fauchon\nBrian Hinson\nMadeleine Humeny\nSofie Kane\nBianca Kenna\nLinda Pollard\nRobyn Ross\nChristopher Shyer\nEric Smith

SUMMARY:The 2024 Phil Lind Initiative continues with X Martinez
DESCRIPTION:On March 21\, climate activist and hip-hop artist with Indigenous Mexica roots X Martinez will take to the Phil Lind Initiative stage with a discussion moderated by author and co-director of UBC’s Centre for Climate Justice Naomi Klein. Now 23 years old\, Xiuhtezcatl Martinez (first name pronounced Shoe-Tez-Caht) has been on the frontlines of the climate and environmental movement since the young age of 6 and is widely recognized for his passionate and unwavering fight for climate justice. Named one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s “25 under 25” and one of Time Magazine’s “TIMES Next 100\,” he has been involved as a plaintiff in multiple legal proceedings—calling out the U.S. government and giants of the fossil fuel industry for failing to take necessary action on climate change. Xiuhtezcatl has spoken multiple times at the UN\, addressing the General Assembly and has also spoken on panels with the likes of Bernie Sanders\, Van Jones\, Shailene Woodley\, Bill McKibben\, and Pharrell Williams. Xiuhtezcatl is also an artist at his core\, using his music as a yet another platform to share urgent messages of Indigenous solidarity and care for the planet. Collaborating with musicians including Atlanta rapper Raury and Grammy nominated musician and actor Jaden Smith\, his quick-witted lyrics challenge systems of injustice to envision a better future.
