Hopes, dreams, and a conversation across thousands of kilometres.
Earlier this year, Vancouver-based Mary Gao spent six months in Bogotá, Colombia, working alongside public school children through art, English conversation and cultural exchange. Now, some of the artwork created by the children she met has made its way to Britannia.
Hopes and Dreams: The Children of Colombia – All My Gratitude shares their drawings of everyday life, imagination, hopes and dreams and invites our community here in Vancouver to respond with some of our own.
Join Mary for an afternoon in the Britannia Plaza where you can see the work, hear more about the experience, and add your own words and drawings to the conversation. ✏️
Thursday, September 10 | 3:00–4:30pm
📍 Britannia Plaza
Come by, spend some time with the exhibition, and leave a little piece of your own hopes and dreams behind.
