Asian Communities in Canada: Representations in Comics
DATE :
Come explore the online art exhibition Asian Communities in Canada: Representations in Comics.
Produced by independent curator Yang Lim, this exhibition features works from artists of Asian heritage in Canada who expand the conversation around what it means to be Asian today. Highlighting the unique qualities that characterize the comic genre’s incorporation of text and image, this exhibition’s artists construct diverse representations of themselves and their respective communities that speak to different historical, cultural, and geographical contexts.
Enjoy this free online exhibition from May 8 to June 15, 2025! It features the compelling works of seven artists: Allan Matudio, Althea Balmes, Lorina Mapa, Naomi Fong, Stefano Jun, Vivian Zhou, and Xulin Wang.
This exhibition has been assisted by the Province of Alberta through the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, its arts funding agency.
