Timelines - CAG

It's great to be an invited artist for the "Timelines Project" launched on November 21st, 2023, as part of the Contemporary Art Gallery’s 50th anniversary with my project on housing. "In 2022 the gallery began to reflect at length on the histories the institution has traditionally told of itself: charting its unique trajectory outlined above; foregrounding the organization’s landmark programming achievements, locally and internationally; and tracing the institution’s considerable operational and artistic growth over the years. These milestones are significant ones, which we continue to be proud of, though they tell only a portion of our story." https://timelines.cagvancouver.org/about-this-project This project was made possible with support from the Canada Council from the Arts Digital Now program.

It was great to be part of the "Filmmaking and Motherhood" panel in the capacity of moderator for DOXA 2022.

How can we reconceive film production, funding models, and an environment for working mothers to thrive professionally in film and art industries and institutions? These are some of the questions we collectively unpacked with this amazing line-up of filmmakers.
