Portals

Jun - Aug 2025
Centre A, Vancouver, BC - Jun 21 – Aug 23

by Michael Turner

Presented in partnership with Centre A and the 2025 Queer Arts Festival, Portals is a group exhibition curated by Mark Takeshi McGregor and Diane Hau Yu Wong, featuring artists Arkah, Evan Matchett-Wong, Sena Cleave, Miles Saraswat, Christian Yves Jones and Naomi Leung 梁珮恩. The exhibition was conceived in response to an increasingly dire anti-trans, anti-queer and anti immigrant political landscape. In the words of its curators: “This exhibition becomes a call to imagine otherwise—to envision futures grounded in resilience, memory, and hope.
