Dr. Christopher Patterson’s work examines the intersection of race and video games—across both game development and play. Learn about what drew him to this topic, how he views the role of his own identity in his research, and about some of his key projects.
Making Space: Asian Heritage Month
DATE: May 18, 2023
TIME: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
LOCATION: Museum of Vancouver
From 2020-2023, the Museum of Vancouver had the privilege of hosting the exhibition “A Seat at the Table”. Now travelling to Cumberland, B.C. and launching in summer 2023, this exhibition celebrates Chinese Canadian Heritage identities and experiences through the lens of food and restaurant culture. In this “Making Space” event, we ask what we have learned from the exhibition, and how we can continue to work with Asian Canadian Communities in the future. In the context of curatorial practices and beyond, how can cultural institutions intentionally make space for the responsibilities and reciprocities of representation?
Join us in learning from four individuals and activists who are working for their communities in mindful and intersectional ways through cultural food justice.
Hosted by the Museum of Vancouver, in partnership with Heritage Vancouver Society and the Public Humanities Hub.
