SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tranquility of Communion
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tranquility of Communion\, a landmark exhibition of the late British-Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode’s work\, running from Feb. 28 to May 25\, 2025. This Canadian premiere brings together Fani-Kayode’s celebrated photographs alongside archival prints and previously unseen works from his student years. Fani-Kayode’s images treat same-sex\, multiracial love with a spiritual intensity\, employing symbolic language to explore themes of identity\, sexuality\, and race. Born into a prominent Nigerian family that emigrated to London in the 1960s in search of political refuge\, Fani-Kayode channeled his multifaceted identity and outsider status into a bold photographic practice that made him a prominent figure in the Black British art scene. His work left an enduring influence on contemporary art despite a career that was tragically cut short by his death in 1989\, at the age of 34. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:Cambodian Rock Band
DESCRIPTION:History and music combine in this theatrical journey. In Cambodian Rock Band\, six actor-musicians make up the cast and perform a mix of contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies. Lauren Yee brings to vivid life the Cambodian rock scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s\, a movement cut short by the Khmer Rouge’s brutal attempt to erase the music—and musicians. \nThis darkly funny\, genre-defying play tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia after thirty years\, just as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of the country’s most notorious war criminals. While an onstage band brings foot-stomping hits to life\, the electric play shifts back and forth in time as the father reveals family secrets that exhibit the enduring power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.

SUMMARY:Henna Night II / Shabe Kheena II
DESCRIPTION:Vancouver’s Iranian Visual Arts (VIVA) Alliance announces the launch of a new venue\, Medias Res Gallery\, with the opening of an inaugural exhibition by Hangama Amiri. Henna Night II / Shabe Keena II\, on view from March 27– May 2\, 2025\, marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in British Columbia. The 1\,800-square-foot gallery in Railtown is the new programming hub for VIVA Alliance and a platform for diverse communities to connect. Shabe Kheena/Henna Night features a new large-scale commission and selected works from Amiri’s ongoing series by the same name\, comprised of intricately sewn textile wall hangings that depict scenes from a traditional Afghan pre-wedding ceremony\, in which the bride’s loved ones prepare her for the big day.

SUMMARY:A History of Motown
DESCRIPTION:The Firehall Arts Centre is pleased to present A History of Motown by soul songstress Krystle Dos Santos from Wednesday\, April 2 to Sunday\, April 13\, 2025. \nExperience the soulful sounds of Motown in a mesmerizing concert starring the multi-award-winning Krystle Dos Santos. A History of Motown takes audiences of all ages on a musical journey through the legendary hits that defined an era and shaped the sound of a generation. From the infectious rhythms of The Supremes to the timeless melodies of Stevie Wonder\, Dos Santos brings the magic of Motown to life with her powerhouse vocals and captivating stage presence. \nDos Santos adds\, “I’ve been listening to Motown music my whole life\, and one of the biggest connections I have is to Stevie Wonder and his music. When I was four years old\, I was reading the record jacket to ‘Part-Time Lover’ and learning every word. People would often compare me to Diana Ross and there was always the connection there – culturally\, visually\, and musically – to Motown music for me growing up\, so playing this music is such an honour and feels like it’s a part of me that gets to kind of pay it forward.”
