Join artists Roxanne Charles, Wei Chen, Steven Lee, and Merry McMullen as they discuss their photo-based artwork that focuses on a personal exploration of a location in the City of Surrey. Together, the artists have created an installation that examines the juxtaposition of Surrey’s past and present. Each artist will examine ideas such as aspects of the location's history including how it has been developed, transformed, and remembered over time.
GALLERY GACHET 9 W HASTINGS ST, VANCOUVER FREE
A Room for the Pain (p. 100) is an exhibition by documentary photographer and contemporary artist Jackie Dives. Created soon after the death of the artist's father to drug overdose, the photo series is a personal testament to a public health emergency. Gallery Gachet will host a speaker’s panel to discuss themes addressed through the exhibition, including conventions and ethics of documentary photography and the value of harm reduction in the context of Vancouver's overdose crisis.

Ross den Otter blends paint, wax, and resins with modern and historical photographic processes occasionally using a homemade camera.
