Gallery 101 held the exhibition for Don Kwan & Ed Kwan (aka Chinadoll)’s After Exclusion, Happy Fruit.
Exhibition Statement excerpt
After Exclusion, Happy Fruit by queer Chinese-Canadian brothers Ed Kwan (aka China Doll) and Don Kwan explores two centenary legacies.
The first: the federal government of Canada’s racist enactment of the Chinese Immigration Act on July 1, 1923, which effectively banned persons of Chinese origin from entering Canada for 24 years before it was repealed. And the second: the Kwan family’s own centennial in Canada – a legacy that began with the arrival of their maternal grandfather Chow Kwai Fong in British Columbia.
The exhibition runs until June 10, 2023.
Don’t forget to play Mah Jong too.
Check out the gallery.
