Art Exhibition: (Be)coming Home

Accès

À propos

“(Be)Coming Home” is a community-based art project at Branscombe House produced by Peisen Ding. The title of the project has dual meanings: “Becoming Home” signifies Peisen’s personal journey of finding belonging as a queer immigrant from China; “Coming Home” shows an invitation to the public to engage with the project at the Branscombe House, finding a sense of home. Throughout 2024, the artist will invite local residents to participate as collaborators to tell their definitions of home and co-create a home-like installation through various activities, aiming to build a public sense of an inclusive, shared, and caring community.

This exhibition will showcase the works of individuals who have participated in this project as well as Peisen's work. Together, it hopes to convey various meanings of home and celebrate the diverse presence of Richmond community members. This exhibition is free to enter and opens from September 28th to October 6th.

Peisen Ding

Peisen Ding (he/they) is the 2024 Branscombe House Artist-in-Residence. Peisen’s art practice often involves the exploration of urban relationships, for example, relations with other individuals and built environments in Vancouver through photography, painting, and/or whatever medium comes to the process organically. As a queer Chinese immigrant, it is also important for Peisen to discover what life brings when living with different identities and cultures, and how art can show care, love, and courage to others who have similar backgrounds.
