EVENTS
Living with Long COVID
Living with Long COVID is a photography exhibition co-produced and presented at the Museum of Vancouver, in collaboration with SFU Faculty of Health Sciences and the Post-COVID-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network (PC-ICCN). The exhibition presents photographs and reflections created by 46 Longhaulers (people living with Long COVID), offering an intimate perspective on their everyday challenges and resilience. Grounded in a community-based, participatory arts approach, the project connects patients, researchers, clinicians and museum professionals to advance public understanding and dialogue about Long COVID—working to reduce stigma, strengthen patient voices, and advocate for expanded recognition and support.(Museum of Vancouver, 1100 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, Oct. 4, 2025 - Mar. 22, 2026)
The Suitcase Project
What would you pack if you were forcibly removed from your home today? Photographer Kayla Isomura asked more than 80 fourth- and fifth-generation Japanese Canadians and Americans this question for her travelling exhibition The Suitcase Project, on view at the Museum of Vancouver from Nov. 20, 2025. In 1942, approximately 23,000 Japanese Canadians and over 100,000 Japanese Americans were uprooted from their homes and placed in internment camps. Participants were given 24–48 hours’ notice to assemble their belongings, echoing the historical experience. The photos show participants with their luggage, alongside video interviews and historical information, prompting reflection on belonging, citizenship, and representation today. This travelling exhibition was created by the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.
