The Sunday Art Lecture Series 2024

Event Description

The contemporary, like the tip of an iceberg, often hides what underlies it. The 10th Anniversary series examines expressions of identity in contemporary Western Canadian art and the influence of art movements--especially those since the mid-20th century--on them. Following the first lecturer’s overview to set the scene, four speakers will explore in illustrated talks the innovations of women artists in BC, contemporary indigenous art of Vancouver Island, experiences of displacement and rebirth in the art of a Chinese immigrant, and the symbiosis of airport architecture and artworks.
