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:An Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Mitch and Murray Productions is proud to present the Canadian premiere of An Intervention from Friday\, March 8 to Sunday\, March 17\, 2024 at Performance Works on Granville Island. \nWritten by Olivier Award-winning playwright Mike Bartlett and directed by Aaron Craven\, An Intervention is a touching and funny play about what happens when you hate your best friend. \nAn exploration of friendship\, responsibility and the murky territory that exists at the boundary between them\, two longtime friends are deeply divided over a foreign war in the Middle East. The more present dilemma for them is one of intervention – when is it right to intervene in a friend’s personal conflict? \n“We live in polarizing times where even the closest of friendships can fracture over a political divide\,” says Craven. “An Intervention by Mike Bartlett examines the age of outrage with razor-sharp intellect\, wit\, and empathy. It’s not a prescriptive story\, but a nuanced and beautiful examination of two humans and friends buckling under the strain of modern day anxieties. It’s the perfect play for our times.” \nAn Intervention is a timely and moving story about friendships\, mental health\, and what we owe to the closest people in our lives. \nMarch 8-17\, 2024 | Performance Works | 1218 Cartwright Street \nOpening Night: Friday\, March 8 at 8:00pm \nPreview: March 7 at 8:00pm \nPerformance Times: March 9\, 12\, 13\, 14\, 15\, & 16 at 8:00pm \nMatinees: March 10\, 13\, & 17 at 1:00pm \nPost-Show Talkback: Friday\, March 15 \nTickets: $15-$35 | Available online at mitchandmurrayproductions.com

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:2024 Phil Lind Initiative continues with Viet Thanh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:On March 14\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author\, MacArthur Genius and refugee advocate Viet Thank Nguyen dives into his talk Speaking for an Other moderated by Dr. Christopher B. Patterson. Viet Thanh Nguyen’s writing is bold\, elegant\, and fiercely honest. His remarkable debut novel\, The Sympathizer\, won the Pulitzer Prize\, was a Dayton Literary Peace Prize winner\, and made the finalist list for the PEN/Faulkner award. Coming to the US as refugees during the Vietnam War in 1975\, he was driven by lack of representation to write about the war from a Vietnamese perspective—globally reimagining what we thought we knew about the conflict. Now\, almost a decade since his groundbreaking novel was published\, Viet revisits the developing conversations on the polemic and polarizing narratives facing migrants in the US today with his Phil Lind Initiative talk titled Speaking for an Other. As displaced individuals contend with the physical perils of war\, we consider a different conflict that has emerged within the global imaginary: how has storytelling been used by some to build a new sense of community within the United States\, while being leveraged by other segments of American society to efface them? With time and memory dislocated\, how do narratives have the potential to be wielded as both refuge and subterfuge in the United States of both today and tomorrow?
