Exhibition: Membranes and Pith 305 & Reverie 25
Canada Line – Aberdeen Station
The Aberdeen Canada Line Station Art Wrap is presented in partnership with City of Richmond Public Art. What emotions or memories can food unearth? What do our meals reveal about our sense of belonging, family and history? In Membranes and Pith 305 and Reverie 25, Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist Cherry Archer utilizes the evocative powers of culinary plants deeply rooted in her Trinidadian heritage to create images that awaken memories of her family and culture. She freezes produce in water, creating a “botanical ice tile,” which she then illuminates with coloured light, photographs, and prints in large format.

City of Richmond Archives, Richmond Cultural Centre
7700 Minoru Gate
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.
