Concept
BestB4 Collective brings their new project Telling Stories:
a visual art exhibition to the Chinese Cultural Centre, opening
November 7 (2 - 4 pm). Nine visual artists* collaborate with community members to transform the
On-Tak Cheung Exhibition Hall in the Chinese Cultural Centre into a gallery meeting place where photography, painting,
ceramics, fibre and video installations tell and evoke stories.
Storytelling is a
timeless medium for teaching, entertaining, comforting and connecting. These
stories require time to relate, absorb and reflect upon, as do personal tales
and critical opinion, and in contemporary visual culture, stories are
compressed into instantaneous imagery. Hence, Telling Stories events
will invite dialogue about these essential contemporary questions between the
artists, the Chinese Community and other cultural groups.
Telling
Stories is presented by the
Chinese Cultural Centre and partially funded by the City of Vancouver.
