Community, Connection, and Conversation | Jen Sungshine
Please join the BIPOC Graduate Caucus at 11am on Tuesday March 16, for the first in a mini-series of lectures titled Community, Connection, and Conversation.
The BIPOC Graduate Caucus presents a mini-lecture series titled Community, Connection, and Conversation — a guest-speaker series aimed at providing pathways of support, connection and dialogue amongst the BIPOC Graduate Students of Emily Carr University of Art + Design with professionals in both design and art.
The first guest speaker in the series will be Jen Sungshine. Jen is a queer Taiwanese interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and cultural producer based in Vancouver, Canada. She is the Co-Artistic Director and co-founder of Love Intersections, a media arts collective producing diverse, intergenerational and intersectional stories through documentary film. Her most recent works include Yellow Peril: Queer Destiny (2019), winner of the Gerry Brunet Memorial Award for best BC short; and the visual arts exhibit, Yellow Peril; Celestial Elements (2020) at the SUM Gallery. She currently serves on the board of Vancouver Artists Labour Union Cooperative (VALU CO-OP).
Jen will be speaking on the importance of community within the art and design world (and specifically on how to practice community-based relationship building).
Please note: Due to limited space, this event is currently open to enrolled Graduate Studies students only.
