DESCRIPTION:Multitudes is a group exhibition featuring work from Sonny Assu\, Chun Hua Catherine Dong\, Deborah Edmeades\, Odera Igbokwe\, Cheyenne Rain LeGrande ᑭᒥᐊᐧᐣ and Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki.

Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and wheelchair accessible. \nCurated by Anna Luth. Presented with generous support from Sandpiper Signs & Decals Inc.

SUMMARY:Rehearsal Hall Sessions: Gamelan Bike Bike
DESCRIPTION:GAMELAN BIKE BIKE\n\n\n\n\nGamelan Bike Bike draws its musical inspiration from Bali\, Indonesia and its raw materials from the scrap metal bins of Vancouver. Founded as a community-based project\, the ensemble brings together a diverse group of artists to materialize and animate new experimental instruments. They transformed over 100 discarded bicycle frames\, along with other scrap metals\, into a range of tuned metallophones and gongs that form the foundation of their sound. The ensemble is dedicated to performing new music for gamelan\, including compositions from guest composers I Putu Gede Sukaryana (Balot) and I Putu Swaryandana Ichi Oka from Bali. \nDon’t miss this utterly unique\, innovative musical experience as the traditional music of Indonesia meets contemporary stylings of local and international musicians.
