Esplanade Arts & Heritage Centre, Medicine Hat, AB - To Oct 12

by Robin Laurence

In works displayed in both the gallery and the Esplanade gardens, Sarindar Dhaliwal employs flowers, furniture and feathers, along with ceramics she created at the Medalta pottery, to explore “migration, immigration, family and diaspora.” She constructs new narrative structures upon a range of historical sources, from Rudyard Kipling’s visit to Medicine Hat to the lives of local war brides. Born in the Punjab, raised in England and now based in Toronto, Dhaliwal often examines memory and cultural identity.
