Please join us for the Enchantment closing celebration and exhibition walkthrough with guest curator Phanuel Antwi. The guided tour will give a unique insight into inspirations behind the exhibition with a chance to ask questions and generate discussion.

Enchantment is a group exhibition that looks at the way that Chinatown-Downtown Eastside (and Vancouver in general) enchants international capital, investors, and tourists. Rebecca Bair, Julian 伊 中 Hou and Byron Peters insist upon a counter enchantment. To these artists, this counter enchantment comes from reworking archival materials, to insisting on the lived experience of having relations in this neighbourhood, to mobilizing speculation, and fiction, to listening to the knowledge of the surrounding communities.

Enchantment is presented with additional support from The Studio for Racial and Colonial Tidalectics (Canada Research Chair in Black Arts and Epistemologies).
