International is supposed to be a key word here. Unfortunately, the festival lacked diversity with the prevalence Japanese and Chinese national clothing. It catches the eye right at the entrance, where ladies dressed in kimono greet the guests.

CJSF volunteer examines and discusses Migration Patterns the latest exhibit by Lisa Walker showing at Gallery Gachet.
On the last episode of Sound Therapy, my co-host and I interviewed Lisa Walker an artist from Gallery Gachet. She talked about her exhibition: Migration Patterns. During the interview Lisa and I had a discussion about the experiences of home, which made me realize how significant the word ‘home’ is.

WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution is a collection of works, from a variety of media, that aims to show the work that “emerged from the dynamic relationship between art and feminism between 1965 and 1980, a time in which a majority of feminist activism and art-making occurred across the globe.” (Quote from the Vancouver Art Gallery website)
Thanks to SFU visual arts students and faculty, the paper has been torn off the doors on the, of late, neglected SFU art gallery, and the 2005 Visual Arts student show, Hung, opened March 4th.
Did you know SFU has an art gallery in the AQ? Maybe not because the gallery itself has been closed for a few months now. It may be on the verge of closing entirely. However, about 150 people attended the opening to peruse the work of this year's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year Visual Art majors and, thanks to them, our gallery is open again (at least for the moment). The show is aptly named Hung.
