April 1 – February 28
Exhibition – Objects given to my mom because she is Asian
Lansdowne Station
Presented in partnership with City of Richmond Public Art and Canada Line Public Art Program – InTransit BC. Kyla Bourgh’s installation at Lansdowne Station presents objects that have been given to the artist’s mother over the past fifty years. Each object is associated with an “Asian style” and was gifted to her because of her physical and cultural identity. Bourgh’s work highlights that, while the gifts were given to her mother in kindness, they unwittingly reminded her that she is and always will be perceived as a visible minority in her farming community in rural British Columbia.
