Prepare to embroider! After an introduction to the craft, participants will join Florence Yee in the meditative act of tissue embroidery. You will not only have the opportunity to create something new, but also to consider your own visual narrative and past stories.

About the Artist
Florence Yee is a 2.5 generation, Cantonese-struggling visual artist based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, unceded Mohawk territory. Having graduated from her BFA at Concordia University, she works with community groups for visual culture, such as articule and La Centrale, both artist-run centres, and the Ethnocultural Art Histories Research group (EAHR). Her interest in Cantonese-Canadian history has fueled an art practice committed to dismantling institutional and casual ideals of Eurocentric patriarchy, as well as examining the daily life of her diaspora. She is represented by Studio Sixty-Six and Centerfold Gallery.
