About the event

HOSTED BY THE ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA: https://aggv.ca/exhibits/start-here/

Despite the challenge of making productive lives and fitting into Canadian society, which faced all Japanese Canadians at that time, Roy Kiyooka, Kazuo Nakamura, Shizuye Takashima and Takao Tanabe, independently found their ways to artmaking. They built practices, careers and reputations which have become significant parts of Canadian art and art history. 

Guest curated by Bryce Kanbara, and showing in the AGGV's Graham Gallery, this exhibition will open in conjunction with the city wide arts symposium Gei organized by the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC), in collaboration with UVic with funding from the Canada Council.
