Curated Visual Art Exhibition: PORTALS

— Curated by Mark Takeshi McGregor & Diane Hau Yu Wong

| June 21 – August 23 | Centre A: Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art | Pay-What-You-Wish |

Our QAF 2025 theme is fully realized in this special exhibition partnership with Centre A: Vancouver International Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. Curated by Diane Hau Yu Wong and Mark Takeshi McGregor, this group exhibition explores “portals” as catalysts for change—points of departure that invite reflection on identity, migration, and the possibilities of reimagined worlds via the works of six Vancouver artists: Arkah, Evan Matchett-Wong, Sena Cleave, Miles Saraswat, Christian Yves Jones, and Naomi Leung 梁珮恩. As anti-trans, anti-queer and anti-immigrant rhetoric intensifies across the world, Portals responds to our increasingly dangerous political landscape while asking us to envision futures grounded in resilience, memory, and hope.

Portals runs from June 21 to August 23, 2025, with an opening reception on Friday, June 21 from 5 – 8pm, with artists in attendance – and special guest DJ OShow!
