Art has entwined into our lives in divergent ways, but one thing is certain, we both found a multitude of meanings in it: emotions, stories, cultures, etc. Essentially, art awakens somethings both universal and personal in each of us.
Our interest for Asian cultures, much like our interest in art, manifested itself at different times in our lives: while Amandine had already actively started to learn more about Asian art in France; Mariana was moving from Mexico to Canada, interacting for the first time with Asian communities in her new city.
We met in Montreal/Tiohtià:ke and decided that making Asian art shine in our host country would be our vocation. We want to create a much-needed space dedicated to Canadian artists of Asian descent to address the lack of cultural representation in the Canadian art scene.
