    Johnny Tai: Zodiac Crossroads

    Tai’s landmark solo exhibition reimagines the signs of the Chinese zodiac alongside Western astrological symbols, drawing on ancient mythologies and contemporary cultural threads alike. This constellation of 22 tactile works explores identity, heritage, belonging, and intercultural dialogue through a sensuous language of line, texture, and touch. Originally presented at the **Richmond Art Gallery Annex in 2025**, the series now embarks on a new chapter here in Victoria, engaging local audiences with its accessible, interwoven cosmos of symbols and stories. Tai’s art practice has been recognized through exhibitions at renowned spaces including the Grunt Gallery (Vancouver), the Italian Cultural Centre, and the Outlet Gallery, and his work continues to challenge and expand understandings of visual art and accessibility. Johnny (Tiger) Tai is a visionary Canadian artist, martial-arts instructor, and accessibility advocate whose work transcends conventional boundaries of perception and experience. Born in Taiwan and based in Richmond, British Columbia, Tai is totally blind and partially deaf, yet he approaches art — and life —with an intensity of touch, intuition, and rich sensory imagination that defies expectation. Drawing on his lived experience, Tai creates tactile etchings that invite audiences to *feel* art as deeply as they *see* it. read more...

    You Do not Have To Be Good

    You Do Not Have to Be Good is a debut solo exhibition by Mila Rio that explores the interplay between conscious presence and detachment within the experience of prolonged dissociation. Dissociation describes a mental disconnection from the self and the physical world, often experienced as observing oneself from the outside. This multimedia collection of oil paintings and felted wool roving sculptures emerges from a state of personal elusive presence that has persisted for more than a year and a half. Within this sensation, Rio documents the intangible and often contradictory states of being that manifest in between the body and the mind. The process is both a search for language to articulate overwhelming, uncomfortable, and consuming emotions, and a means to hold space for those feelings when words fail. Throughout You Do Not Have to Be Good, Rio explores what it means to exist in a body. The act of creation becomes a process of forging pathways through sorrow, discomfort, and peace, bridging the gaps between presence and detachment, interior and exterior. This multimedia collection opens a dialogue on the complexities of embodiment, offering both herself and the viewer a tactile, meditative journey through the gentle and violent pursuit of being. read more...
