“(Be)Coming Home” is a community-based art project at Branscombe House produced by Peisen Ding. The title of the project has dual meanings: “Becoming Home” signifies Peisen’s personal journey of finding belonging as a queer immigrant from China; “Coming Home” shows an invitation to the public to engage with the project at the Branscombe House, finding a sense of home. Throughout 2024, the artist will invite local residents to participate as collaborators to tell their definitions of home and co-create a home-like installation through various activities, aiming to build a public sense of an inclusive, shared, and caring community. This exhibition will showcase the works of individuals who have participated in this project as well as Peisen’s work. Together, it hopes to convey various meanings of home and celebrate the diverse presence of Richmond community members.

Steveston Museum and Post Office

We are thrilled to welcome back local potter Marsha Lynn Hoggan to the Pop Up Art space. Marsha has been making pottery since 2005. Her functional work is mainly porcelain, loving the translucency and the way it glows after glaze firing. Working with clay has also allowed her to experiment with raku as well as sculpting. Marsha’s whimsical garden and floral designs as well as her orcas designs are so worth coming in to have a look. Scott Samuels has been on an artistic journey ever since he was a young boy from creating lego structures to discovering his talent for drawing and as well as his creative abilities. Scott gave up art in his teens and then rediscovered his talent while recovering from a major injury. From portraits to landscapes, Scott continues to explore the many facets of this art.

Hong Wo & Co. General Merchants and its owner Ling Lam have a rich history that intersects with the development of Richmond. In the late nineteenth century, Ling Lam, a young immigrant from China, arrived in Victoria. At this time, the Chinese Immigration Act was in place, a discriminatory law requiring all migrants from China to pay a head tax in order to enter Canada. Despite such barriers, Lam soon moved to Vancouver, where he studied English and worked in local canneries. In 1895, Lam purchased property in Steveston and opened the Hong Wo store, whose Chinese name 同和 means “Peace Together” or “Living in Harmony.”

Festival of Recorded Movement in Richmond
2024-11-08 - 2024-11-16 | Lipont Gallery, 4211 No. 3 Road, Richmond, British Columbia, V6X 2C3, Canada
November 8 – 16, 2024
Festival of Recorded Movement in Richmond
Cultural Centre Annex & Lipont Gallery

Cinevolution, City of Richmond, and Lipont Gallery are partnering with F-O-R-M to bring a taste of the Festival of Recorded Movement to Richmond screens for the first time!

Screens are an integral part of our daily lives, constantly within reach. Yet rarely do we pause to consider what they might offer beyond the everyday. This year’s Public Screens program invites you to engage with these familiar surfaces from a different perspective. Each film, though under 5 minutes, encourages us to step out of our routines and reflect on the pieces of ourselves we don’t often take time to celebrate—the moments that shape us, stay with us, and shift as we move through the world.

Previously only on view in Vancouver, these films can now be experienced at the lobby of the Richmond Cultural Centre Annex (7660 Minoru Gate, Richmond, BC V6Y 1R8) and on the outdoor screens at Lipont Gallery (4211 No. 3 Road Richmond BC across from the Aberdeen Station) throughout the festival period.
