The Art of Living: Diaspora and Symbol Migration at Canadian Cultural Centre

At the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris, 'The Art of Living' showcases a collective exhibition with artists Xiaojing Yan, Jude Abu Zaineh, and Soheila Esfahani. This exhibition delves into immigration, community, and the movement of symbols, highlighting the duality of living across cultures. The featured artists, hailing from China, Palestine, and Iran and now residing in Canada, reinterpret symbols of belonging—such as staircases, bridges, and myths—through their unique lenses. Their creations reflect themes of food, desire, religion, and globalization, presenting industrialized objects that challenge traditional imagery. The exhibition opens on May 14 during Nuit européenne des Musées, continuing through Paris Gallery Weekend on May 19 and 20, and European Heritage Days on September 17 and 18. Notably, the centre will close on September 5 and 30, 2022.
