À propos

Xiao Han is a multidisciplinary artist and curator from Wuhan, China. Based in the 6 Territory, the traditional land of Indigenous and Metis, Han's creative practice focuses on photography, lens-based performance, visualizing emotion, and community engagement. Han's research explores diaspora identity, contemporary gender issues, and the relationship between humans, the environment, and the indigenous land. Through visual art and curatorial practice, Han produced numerous projects investigating the Chinese-Canadian restaurant history, the identity of home, and the aesthetic of community relationships.

Thanks to funding from SK Arts, Xiao is partnering with the Wynyard and District Museum committee on a public art project exploring the story of Chinese Families who operated cafe's in Wynyard in the 1920s and beyond.

With this workshop Xiao aims to engage with Wynyard citizens through learning and playing Mahjong, a traditional Chinese game. Through conversation and play the artist and citizens will learn more about each other, and the community.
