Join us at the Kamloops Art Gallery for an interactive guided tour exploring the work of Vancouver-based artist Cindy Mochizuki led by KAG Education and Public Programs Director Emily Hope, and engage in lively explorations of some of the relevant themes.

Cindy Mochizuki creates multi-media installation, audio fiction, performance, animation, drawings, and community-engaged projects. Her work explores the manifestation of story and its complex relationships to site-specificity, the transpacific, invisible histories, archives, and memory work.  Her artistic process is often research-based and moves back and forth between multiple sites of cultural production to consider language, performativity, chance, and improvisation. She has worked extensively on a large bodies of work informed by and within Japanese Canadian communities in B.C and Japan. In these projects, she works with members of these communities and often includes her paternal family’s history both within the internment camps and their experiences as repatriated Japanese Canadians in Japan, post war.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Kamloops Adult Learners’ Society (KALS). You must be a member of KALS to participate.

Registration is available online at kals.ca/registration/.
