My name is Ladan Sahraei, Artist and Board Member of the Pride in Art Society, this year celebrating 24 years of gathering queer art in Vancouver. Art keeps us connected during the age of social distancing and the QAF and SUM Gallery remain steadfast in our commitment to artists amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

QAF 2022: Hauntings runs 3 weeks from June 18th to July 8th. What haunts you? Fear? Insecurity? Longing? In a Queer context, our very existence is haunting?a reminder of what colonial culture attempted to erase and an ephemeral suggestion of what future lays in wait across generations. This year’s QAF explores Hauntings in both playful and profound ways with a dynamic suite of visual art, performance, music, and literary events, from the depths of the Sun Wah Centre, up through Centre A: Vancouver International Centre For Contemporary Asian Art, On Main Gallery, and SUM gallery, to the rooftop overlooking historic Chinatown. We’re rekindling our longstanding partnership with the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre and celebrating new friendships with the James Black Gallery and Coastal Jazz & Blues Society. QAF takes place on the traditional, unceded territory of the Coast Salish people, in particular the x?m??kw?y??m (Musqueam), s?wx?wú7mesh (Squamish) and s?l?ílw?ta? (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

QAF 2022: Hauntings includes the Vanishing Act: Curated Visual Art Exhibition at the Sun Wah Centre galleries opening on June 18th and the Pride in Art Community Show at the James Black Gallery opening on June 20th. Exhibition hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12 to 6 pm.

The Cost of Entry is a Heartbeat, Salima Punjani

On no fixed schedule, Orchestra, an ongoing series, of embracing and sharing artistic research in non-academic loosely defined lectures, performances, listening parties and sharing. Orchestra is interested in exploring alternative models of academia, sharing space and embodiment.

Salima Punjani is a multisensory artist grounded in relational aesthetics. A common thread through all of her work is the creation of environments that allow for receptivity of connection. She is particularly interested in how multiple senses can be used to expand the possibilities for people to feel welcome in art spaces as well as to create artful experiences of empathy, intimacy, and connection.

Her recent projects include Will you Pass the Salt? at the Phi Foundation in Montreal which invites people to sit at a dining room table and feel the sounds of 10 households in Montreal cooking and preparing a meal. The Cost of Entry is a Heartbeat at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest that used heartbeat data and thermal bath sounds to create a collective rest environment. Progression, a real-time immersive multisensory installation that explores the narratives of people living with multiple sclerosis fused with brainwaves and MRI scans. Konbit Anba Soley, a participatory, interactive documentary about a social movement in Cité Soleil, Haiti as well as Moms of Montreal, a multicultural photographic storytelling project offering an intimate view into the recipes and stories of families in Montreal.

The board game that looks like Monopoly but reads Deafopoly is set up with playing pieces, dice, and money.
Erinn: Oh, cool! So what is Deaf Deaf World?
Joy: One sec. Hey, can you explain?
Joy looks at the game board and Cindy appears inside the board, wearing a black turtleneck.
