April 24 – June 5
Art Exhibition: Union – Kiran Bhumber ਕਿਰਨਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ ਭੰਬਰ , Nancy Lee 李南屏
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Part of Cinevolution’s Digital Carnival. Featuring a new body of works by interdisciplinary media artists Nancy Lee 李南屏 and Kiran Bhumber ਕਿਰਨਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ ਭੰਬਰ, UNION is a speculative sci-fi exhibition centred around a narrative of two beings discovering their ancestral memories through the longing for touch and the rituals enacted in their post-apocalyptic wedding ceremony. The exhibition incorporates web XR, performance, sculpture, and multi-channel sound and video installations. Drawing on parallels between our world and the speculative future while working through the artists’ diasporic identities, UNION is a potent critique of modern surveillance capitalism, but also a gesture towards hope through the generative possibilities of intimacy, performativity, and presence.
