Running at Contemporary Craft right now is Peregrination, the art of Chinese Canadian artist Xiaojing Yan. Contemporary Craft’s Director of Visual Engagement Yu-San Cheng spoke with QED’s Melissa Black about the exhibition.

Born in Jiangsu, China, Xiaojing moved to Toronto to further her education and career, and she received her master’s degree in sculpture from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Yu-San talks about Xiaojing’s journey and how she transforms migration, memory, and identity into material art.

Peregrination is on view now through May 2nd. Contemporary Craft gallery admission is free. Find more information on Contemporary Craft’s website.
