SUMMARY:“Uno” by Raul Pous Facha
DESCRIPTION:Meet Raul: Architect\, Artist\, and Digital Fabrication Visionary\n\n\n\n“I’m Raul\, an architect and artist of Mexican origin\, now based in Canada since 2022. My lifelong fascination with materials and manufacturing techniques has deeply influenced my approach to design. While I’ve always appreciated the artistry and individuality of handmade products\, I’ve also recognized the challenges they face in achieving precision and consistent quality.\n\n\n\nThis curiosity led me to digital fabrication\, where I discovered the power to translate complex designs into reality with precision and control. Through the fusion of technology and craftsmanship\, I am able to create pieces that retain the unique essence of handmade work while elevating their quality and accuracy.”\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: March 10 – 20\, 2025\n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 13 from 4:00pm-5:30pm\n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday\, 12pm-4pm\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit us at: https://visacgallery.com/exhibitions/#unoraulpousfacha

SUMMARY:AT MOUTH OF RIVER: WHAT STONE REMEMBERS
DESCRIPTION:Tsuneko Kokubo’s enigmatic artistic and creative practice spans over 70 years of painting\, dance performance\, costume design\, and theatre. Born in 1937 in Steveston\, B.C. and raised in Japan\, Kokubo brings a dynamism of life’s complex beauty by being in-between states of time\, memory\, and place. She is revered as an artist with deep symbolic interconnectedness to her lived surroundings which often includes the trees\, rivers\, oceans to the plants in her garden. Her visionary art-making brings to the surface the life forms and energies caught in the folds of insightful observation and play. \nIn conversation with interdisciplinary artist\, Cindy Mochizuki\, Kokubo will discuss what has influenced and carried her as one of the early and pioneer Japanese Canadian artists of her time to ‘here’. Speaking through select artworks and processes\, stories\, and events\, Kokubo’s talk will weave together estuaries and rivers of concepts\, abstractions\, symbols that have marked her multifaceted career. The event is hosted by the Langham Cultural Society and co-organized with the Asian Canadian Studies Society with funding from the Japanese Canadian Legacies Society.
