SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:Pippin the Musical
DESCRIPTION:Step into a world of ‘spectacle and unease’ with Play On Words Productions’ gritty reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’ Pippin\, February 26th-March 7th at the Jericho Arts Centre \nSet inside a decaying nightclub suspended between life and death\, Pippin is the story of one young man’s search for the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of battle\, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. Dark\, raw\, and reckless\, this production is a haunting exploration of purpose and desire\, leaving the audience to wonder: would they choose the fire\, or walk away? \nCONTENT ADVISORY: This show includes mature themes\, sexual suggestion\, dramatized violence\, and sensory elements (lighting and sound). We recommend only those who 13+ attend. Viewer discretion is advised.

SUMMARY:Clan of the Painted Lady | Film Screening & Director Q&A
DESCRIPTION:In this engrossing documentary\, presented for Asian Heritage Month\, director Jennifer Chiu reaches into her family’s history to explore the Hakka community — a people\, a language\, and a culture. Thought to hail from northern China\, the Hakka settled in the south of the country\, where they were known as the “guest people”. In the face of social marginalization\, many of them dispersed to places such as Mauritius\, India\, Jamaica\, and Canada — including BC’s Lower Mainland\, where Chiu spent much of her childhood. \nThe director’s reach is as expansive as her people’s migratory spread: using found Super 8 footage\, she explores the Hakka’s history in India\, and through candid\, probing interviews with relatives and community leaders she brings forth decades of a narrative that has been obscured for far too long. Chiu has made a warm\, congenial film that is never weighed down by its explorations of family secrecy\, the costs of assimilation\, and the very uncertain future of Hakka culture. \nEvent Details:\nDate: Saturday\, May 23\, 2026 \nLocation: VIFF Centre (1181 Seymour Street)\, VIFF Cinema \nTime & Schedule:\n2 to 3:45 P.M. – Film screening: Clan of the Painted Lady\n3:45 to 4:15 P.M. – Audience Q&A with director Jennifer Chiu \nCost: $12–$17/ticket
