Heartbeat of the Valley Community Event
Carrefour créatif
Lieu
Westmeath and District Recreation Association
119 Synton Street
Ottawa Valley, ON
Don Kwan will launch a new community event in his adopted hometown of Westmeath in Whitewater Region. The event will celebrate diversity and spotlight the visual and performative power of the arts within rural communities. Featured talent includes: Success Dragon Lion Dance Troupe, China Doll, Zaneta Pernicova, Soul Meadows and Catherine Timm.
Don Kwan (he/him) is a queer third-generation Chinese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist, whose work explores place, identity, representation and intergenerational memory-making across time. Reflecting upon modernist depictions of landscape in Canada, Kwan explores legacies of inclusion and exclusion, rooted in land-based settler colonialism. Whether landscape, abstraction, or portraiture, 20th-century Canadian modernism was founded at a time when discriminatory policies such as the Chinese Immigration Act and the Chinese Exclusion Act were in place. Through community outreach, project initiatives, festivals, workshops and his own family’s history of more than a century in Canada, Kwan considers the question: What does it look like to belong in the Canadian landscape?
Heartbeat of the Valley by Don Kwan is commissioned as part of Ontario Culture Days' Creatives in Residence series.
