Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver CCC 555 Columbia St, Vancouver, BC
Catalogo: https://adobe.ly/2x0Qcfh

Bridges are among the most powerful and important symbols in human society - symbols of connection, of cooperation, of hope and of harmony.
Art is a bridge. It is a universal language. Through symbolism, colour, form, and mark-making the artist builds a bridge that connects inner experiences to outer visual images and creates a visual dialogue that transcends language and cultural barriers.
We celebrate bridges and friendship between countries and cultures-- 207 years of the Independence of Mexico, Canada 150, and 45 years of diplomatic relations between China and Mexico."
