Responding to a recent lineage of exhibitions and artist residencies engaging with Chinatown at The New Gallery, which occupies a unit in Calgary Chinatown’s historic Canton Block, curator Christina Yao reflects on her own relationship with Chinatown as a recent Chinese immigrant, which is marked by a curiously twinned sense of both belonging and alienation. 

Interior/Periphery invites Kylie Fineday, Tomo Ingalls and Raeann Kit-Yee Cheung, artists of Asian and Indigenous backgrounds, to consider the complexities of being both inside and outside—whether of a community, a place, or one’s own body. Interior/Periphery is interested in the topography where “within” and “without” overlap and intertwine, and the works presented pursue this “in-between” in clay, beading, performance and photography.
