Kitchener-Waterloo Gallery

Drawing installation with audio and video, based on conversations with strangers, listening to the news, and much more, form the basis of Associate Professor Lucie Chan's latest exhibition.

Chan gathers accounts of living from numerous sources such as one-on-one interviews with strangers, conversations with taxi drivers, or simply noting the repetition of trauma by listening to the news. From this informal process of collecting evidence of lives-lived, Chan creates immersive installations wherein drawings and textual fragments serve as a registry of both experience and pervasive forms of inequity. How to Be 57 is curated by Crystal Mowry.
