Group exhibition, Relations: Diaspora and Painting

PHI Foundation of Contemporary Art, Montréal, July 8, 2020

The PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art presents RELATIONS: Diaspora and Painting.

 

This group show explores the complex and multiple meanings of diaspora, its condition, and its experiences as expressed through painting. "The questions and concepts of diaspora are of deep, personal interest to me as a person of colour born in Canada of mixed Asian heritage," says curator and managing director Cheryl Sim. The wide spectrum of productive interpretations and relations that are generated by experiences of diaspora remain unfixed, providing endless engagement with the notions of kinship and identity in a world of advanced globalization and migration.
