The Migration of Objects

November 7-10,2025

7 - 9:30 pm

Presentation House Theatre - Studio,

North Vancouver

Conceptualized and led by Gabriela Rosillo, with creative contributions from Analí Duarte and Maria Fernanda Haslbeck.

Description

This exhibition explores migration through the personal belongings of immigrant women. The project blends photography, interactive installation, and narrative to reflect on identity, memory, belonging, and resilience.

The Migration of Objects grew from a Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House workshop, where women in the Pathways to Leadership program shared their stories. Moved by their strength, she created a platform to honour their voices and the objects that hold their histories.

Presented in English, with select stories in their original languages, the exhibition invites reflection through visual and oral storytelling, asking: What do we carry when we leave home, and what carries us forward?

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour this land's ancient and contemporary narratives. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from this land's stories.
