SUMMARY:REGROWTH – Abstract Paintings by Lion Nie
DESCRIPTION:Featuring recent paintings by Surrey-based artist Lion Nie.\n\nImmigrant artists from all over the world bloom in Metro Vancouver. “Art is true temperament\,” and inevitably\, artists reset their creative paradigm and language\, projecting and continuing their original creativity\, formats and media after they settle down in Vancouver. Canada’s unique and diverse artistic wealth continues to write a unique and diverse art history for the Canada’s Pacific Coast.\n\nArtist Lion Nie’s arrival has injected new energy into this development. He made the symbol he used\, the Möbiusband\, and his original expression more vivid and dramatic\, either making it the protagonist that fills the canvas\, or using it to define the tone and extension of the meaning of the painting. The Möbiusband often is considered to be the creative source of the infinity symbol “∞.” If we walk on it\, the journey will go back and forth endlessly and regenerate… infinite territory and unpredictable encounters.

SUMMARY:Lost Liberties The War Measures Act
DESCRIPTION:The Sidney Museum & Archives is excited to\nunveil a new travelling exhibit\, Lost Liberties: The War Measures Act which will be on\nshow from August 5-November 29\, 2024. \nDuring the 20th century\, the War Measures Act was enacted three times by the\nCanadian Government. During World War I\, World War II\, and the 1970 October Crisis\,\nthe civil liberties of Canadians were suspended in the name of national security. Lost\nLiberties focuses on minority groups who were targeted during these times including the\ninstances of internment of Canadians of European origin\, the forced relocation of\nJapanese Canadians\, and the arrest of people in Quebec. \nAn additional display of local connections has also been created by Museum staff.\nDisplacing Differences will present how these injustices happened right on the Saanich\nPeninsula by showcasing information on the D’Arcy Island lazaretto\, the imprisonment\nof Doukhobors on Piers Island\, Japanese Canadians who were forcibly uprooted from\nSidney\, and the forced displacement of W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. \n“Lost Liberties provides us with a unique opportunity to share historically\nunder-represented narratives”\, says Michael Goodchild\, Executive Director of the\nSidney Museum. “The impact of the War Measures Act over the 20th century is not\nwidely known\, and we are honoured to pair the exhibit’s national perspective along with\nexamples closer to home.” \nLost Liberties: The War Measures Act is a travelling exhibition developed by the\nCanadian Museum of History and generously supported by a grant for the Endowment\nCouncil of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund
