Showcasing artworks from the 2010s to the present, FOODWAYS will focus on artists who explore food and food cultures, addressing a rich range of questions regarding cultural identity, personal and collective narratives, colonialist histories, community, and the transmission of knowledge.

Persimmon Blackbridge: Speak No (emergency)
In this compelling installation by Persimmon Blackbridge, dozens of faces and figures on wall-mounted panels track the devastation of climate change. Faced with the forest fires of Lytton, the plastic-clogged Pacific Ocean, and other challenges to BC’s environment, this wooden army comes together in persistence, anger, despair, and hope.
Art Workshop: Salvaged Sculptures
Students will create a sculptural artwork incorporating mixed-media art materials, found objects, and recycled materials to reflect the challenges to our climate and environment.
April 12 – June 8, 2025
Mary Sui Yee Wong, 1990s-2000s
Revealing the breadth of Wong’s rigorous artistic practice, this exhibition will showcase her previous artworks including sculpture, installation, video, performance, and costume culminating with new work. Wong’s artwork explores the histories and experiences of Chinese Canadians and engages with personal memory, cultural history, and familial legacy.
Art Workshop: Cultural Clothing
Responding to Wong’s playful costumes, students will create a mixed-media clothing design reflecting on their cultural heritage.
