Mirage: Disused Public Property in Taiwan is a new exhibition with Taiwanese artist Yao Jui-Chung on the role of photography in activism. On June 1st, 2024 join Yao for for a special photo walk featuring abandoned spaces in Vancouver.

During the walk, registrants will be taken to three locations in the Kitsilano neighbourhood. Artist Yao and local photographer, Christian Zane Clado, will share photography tips while MOV staff will share the history of each location as well as the political controversies surrounding them. All photography devices (including smartphones) and skill levels are welcome!

The photo walk will take up to three hours, including a short break.

After the walk, participants are invited to stay behind for a conversation with the artist and each other to talk about photography, public spaces, and community.

Technical aspects of photography will be shared on this walk, but we will also be asked to reflect on how we can be more mindful of how our photographs tell a story—and even enact change.

This event is generously funded by UBC’s Grants for Catalyzing Research Clusters (GCRC) for the Critical Image Forum (CIF) with UBC’s Department of History.

Date: June 1, 2024

Time: 2:00 - 5:00pm
