Join Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé, an Upper Tanana visual artist, in a Virtual Beading Workshop this spring! Learn to bead a simple but unique floral pattern in an engaging online workshop that is ideal for beginners to learn basic beading techniques. Participants will not only gain the skills necessary to make a Melton keychain using seed beads, but they will also learn how to accent the work with traditional materials like freshwater pearl or shell button. Teresa has been exhibited across Canada and currently has work featured in c̓əc̓əwitəl̕ | helping each other | ch’áwatway at MOV.

The Museum of Vancouver and the University of British Columbia proudly present A Seat at the Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia. This exhibition explores historical and contemporary stories of Chinese Canadians in BC and their struggles for belonging. It looks to food and restaurant culture as an entry point to feature stories that reveal the great diversity of immigrant experience and of the communities immigrants develop.

We thought that this interactive shadow installation paired with our exhibition A Seat at the Table: Chinese Immigration and British Columbia would make a tasty combo! Presented in partnership with Mere Phantoms.

PLAY - The table has been set for you in the centre of the gallery. We call it the "Shadow Buffet": you can help yourself to a cup of tea, a piece of moon cake, a bowl of bok choy. Using the food puppets, you can project more yummy shadows as you go around the table.

DISCOVER - On the far wall, use the light on your mobile phone to illuminate the small eateries. Direct the light to the paper buildings; get close to them, move away and come back again obliquely. Watch the new food worlds you are creating unfold on the wall! 

MAKE - Use the material on the table to create more food puppets: try making one ingredient or a full dish. Bring your creation to the Shadow Buffet, mix your food with the other ingredients and get others to taste it!

The Google Art Camera, used in our partnership with Google Arts and Culture, is a robotic camera, custom-built to record cultural masterworks in gigapixel images. Comprising more than one billion pixels, the ultra-high resolution of a gigapixel image can bring out details invisible to the naked eye.

“In the spirit of creating more access to the MOV and the City’s collection, coupled with our new discounted rates, engaging feature exhibitions, and virtual programming, we hope that these additions will motivate Vancouverites to come and learn about their city’s unique and evolving history here at the MOV.” – Mauro Vescera, CEO of the Museum of Vancouver.
