Li draws from her personal experiences as an artist within the Chinese diaspora as a foundational element of these works. These surrealist objects also offer a challenge to our relationship with the familiar material world and the cultural narratives and expectations embedded within it.

Leonard Suryajaya uses his work to test the boundaries of intimacy, community and family. He uses photography, video, performance and installation to show how the everyday is layered with histories, meanings and potential.
A black shed is gradually filled with lanterns made by the artists throughout the exhibition. Appearing as luminous versions of everyday objects, these lanterns represent belongings found in the artists’ childhood home on Calgary’s Edelweiss Road, in which their parents still reside.
