SUMMARY:Restless by Nature: Mary Sui Yee Wong\, 1990s to the present
DESCRIPTION:Richmond Art Gallery presents Restless by Nature\, the first retrospective of multidisciplinary artist Mary Sui Yee Wong’s work\, on view from April 12 to June 8\, 2025. Wong’s artistic practice over three decades spans sculpture\, installation\, photography\, video\, and costume\, and works in this exhibition have been specially updated for this new context–reflecting the site-specificity that Wong is known for. A newly commissioned performance-based work\, Gold Mountain\, draws from the rising levels of anti-Asian violence seen in recent years\, and will use an act of destruction to explore systemic racism as driven by the neoliberal economy. Born in Hong Kong to Cantonese opera master Toa Wong and raised in Vancouver\, the artist frequently addresses themes of personal memory\, familial legacy\, and cultural history in her work. Based in Montréal\, Wong is a professor in Concordia University’s Fine Arts department\, an advocate for the Chinese Canadian community\, and a celebrated mentor of younger generations of Asian diaspora artists. A collaboration between the Gallery\, City of Richmond Public Art\, and Capture Photography Festival\, her work TREASURE II\, which honours her Chinese cultural and artistic heritage\, will be featured at Lansdowne Station. \nThis exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program. \nAdmission to the Richmond Art Gallery is free. Donations are appreciated.

SUMMARY:Pacific Theatre Presents: Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Co-Dependents and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. In an empty church activity room\, five people share their stories and try to connect in the face of stigma\, intersecting trauma\, and wildly disparate experiences. When a participant expresses an unanticipated desire\, the group must evaluate the limits of their tolerance\, trust\, and acceptance. \nThe audience joins the Meeting in real time\, staged in the Chalmers activity room at Pacific Theatre. \nThis up-close exploration of community care surprises at every turn\, revealing vulnerable people grasping for meaning in their lives and relationships. Is restorative justice possible? \nEvery performance includes a Talk Forward discussion with a facilitator and invited guest speaker. \nAudience Advisory: This production contains explicit discussions about sex\, sexual behaviour\, childhood sexual abuse and trauma\, and pedophilia. It is recommended for ages 19+. \nContact info@pacifictheatre.org for more detailed content guidance.

SUMMARY:Restless by Nature: Mary Sui Yee Wong\, 1990s to the present
DESCRIPTION:Richmond Art Gallery presents Restless by Nature\, the first retrospective of multidisciplinary artist Mary Sui Yee Wong’s work\, on view from April 12 to June 8\, 2025. Wong’s artistic practice over three decades spans sculpture\, installation\, photography\, video\, and costume\, and works in this exhibition have been specially updated for this new context–reflecting the site-specificity that Wong is known for. A newly commissioned performance-based work\, Gold Mountain\, draws from the rising levels of anti-Asian violence seen in recent years\, and will use an act of destruction to explore systemic racism as driven by the neoliberal economy. Born in Hong Kong to Cantonese opera master Toa Wong and raised in Vancouver\, the artist frequently addresses themes of personal memory\, familial legacy\, and cultural history in her work. Based in Montréal\, Wong is a professor in Concordia University’s Fine Arts department\, an advocate for the Chinese Canadian community\, and a celebrated mentor of younger generations of Asian diaspora artists. A collaboration between the Gallery\, City of Richmond Public Art\, and Capture Photography Festival\, her work TREASURE II\, which honours her Chinese cultural and artistic heritage\, will be featured at Lansdowne Station. \nThis exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program. \nAdmission to the Richmond Art Gallery is free. Donations are appreciated.

DESCRIPTION:Richmond Art Gallery presents Restless by Nature\, the first retrospective of multidisciplinary artist Mary Sui Yee Wong’s work\, on view from April 12 to June 8\, 2025. Wong’s artistic practice over three decades spans sculpture\, installation\, photography\, video\, and costume\, and works in this exhibition have been specially updated for this new context–reflecting the site-specificity that Wong is known for. A newly commissioned performance-based work\, Gold Mountain\, draws from the rising levels of anti-Asian violence seen in recent years\, and will use an act of destruction to explore systemic racism as driven by the neoliberal economy. Born in Hong Kong to Cantonese opera master Toa Wong and raised in Vancouver\, the artist frequently addresses themes of personal memory\, familial legacy\, and cultural history in her work. Based in Montréal\, Wong is a professor in Concordia University’s Fine Arts department\, an advocate for the Chinese Canadian community\, and a celebrated mentor of younger generations of Asian diaspora artists. A collaboration between the Gallery\, City of Richmond Public Art\, and Capture Photography Festival\, her work TREASURE II\, which honours her Chinese cultural and artistic heritage\, will be featured at Lansdowne Station. \nThis exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program. \nAdmission to the Richmond Art Gallery is free. Donations are appreciated.
