Bleached by the Sun: Perspectives on Chinatown 《陽光下的褪色：關於華埠的觀點》

Nanaimo Art Gallery 150 Commercial Street, Nanaimo

Artists: Fred Herzog, Kin Jung, Karen Tam, Betty Wong, Jackie Wong, and Charlotte Zhang Event Image: Kin Jung working in the darkroom, c. 1940s, Courtesy of Nanaimo Archives and Nanaimo Museum Bleached by the Sun: Perspectives on Chinatown,《陽光下的褪色：關於華埠的觀點》, is an exhibition that responds to the histories and legacies of Nanaimo’s former Chinatowns through artworks and photographs. Beginning in the 1860s, Nanaimo had a succession of four Chinatowns. The third Chinatown was destroyed by fire in 1960, which had a devastating effect on the community. The exhibition features the viewpoints of three artists who documented Nanaimo’s third Chinatown while it was still standing, and three contemporary artists who respond to Nanaimo’s Chinatowns through textile installation, painting and video, and consider what it means to reflect on these lost sites from the present moment.

Cabaret

Wilkommen and welcome to the hushed corners of the Kit Kat Klub.

Desire comes to life in this epic smash hit musical, set in the twilight of the Jazz Age and the rise of something much darker. After all, “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come hear the music play! Come to the Cabaret!” Note: Cabaret has mature content warnings for the following: strong sexual content, domestic abuse and themes like anti-Semitism and Nazi-ism. It also includes drug and alcohol use, profanity, smoking, and references to abortion and the Holocaust.There are sensory warnings as well as there will be a live band and haze/fog machines in use during the production.
