KEN LUM - FAR AND NEAR: THE DISTANCE(S) BETWEEN US

The exhibition Far and Near: the Distance(s) between Us at the Art Museum University of Toronto brings together several generations of Canadian artists of Chinese descent, offering perspectives onto the Chinese Canadian community’s historical and cultural evolutions and developments. The works included in the exhibition investigate overlooked narratives by exploring notions of distancing and being distanced in relation to race, identity, sexuality and their intertwining with Chinese Canadian history.
