Museum of Vancouver

Ongoing The Work of Repair: Redress & Repatriation at the Museum of Vancouver highlights how the MOV works towards repair: repatriation, community engagement and research that reconnects Indigenous belongings to their histories. The Suitcase Project asks the question, “What would you pack if you were forcibly removed from your home today?” More than 80 fourth and fifth generation Japanese Canadians and Americans were asked this question and the results were captured by photographer Kayla Isomura. Becoming: The Art of Gu Xiong highlights the multimedia artist’s 50-year career exploring migration, hybridity and globalization through his experience as a labourer during the Cultural Revolution, as a Canadian immigrant, and as a professor at UBC, all the while committing to his artistic practice.
