Art and Cultural Events
Art and Culture
Art & Culture is where Real World Dialogue explores how creativity moves across borders. Here you’ll find interviews with artists, curators, and culture keepers; dispatches from galleries, festivals, and community spaces; and short essays on language, memory, and belonging. We spotlight multilingual and diaspora perspectives and share practical tools—access tips, and inclusive event checklists—so cultural experiences are welcoming for people who communicate in languages other than English. Expect photo notes, “Living Chapters,” our human-library profiles that pass the mic to real people. Guided by a two-eyed-seeing approach—pairing academic rigor with lived experience—we connect heritage to today’s public life so organizations and communities can engage more meaningfully.

The CGA recognizes Vancouver’s unique location on the Pacific Rim, and the cultural and geopolitical connections that radiate from here, thanks to the diverse people who call this region home. Acting as a vital bridge, the CGA aspires to be Canada’s cultural gateway to the world.https://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/centre-for-global-asias/
