Presentation House Theatre - Studio,

North Vancouver

Curated by: Annie Hung

Description

"First Generation" showcases the artwork of young immigrants and older generations whose voices are often unheard by the public. At the beginning of their journeys, immigrant children still develop their cultural identities when they find themselves in a new country. This art exhibition is juxtaposed with older adults, who have a wealth of lived experience and have had the time to create a body of work that speaks to that. Showcasing art created by these two demographics, this exhibit bridges the generational gap that immigrants often face due to being separated from their cultural origins.

Annie Hung (She/They)

is a multidisciplinary artist and educator who enjoys painting, sculpting, writing, drawing, animating, and so much more. She teaches in the Metro Vancouver community and is a PhD student at SFU. Passionate about equity, diversity, and inclusion, she is dedicated to working with a broad range of demographics. She eagerly engages with heavy topics, finding cuteness, humor, pop culture, and aesthetics to be great tools for exploring complex topics in a more accessible way.

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.
