*SKY ISLAND is an art exhibition and event series occurring on the rooftop parkade at 211 East Georgia st in Vancouver, BC. Throughout the month of July emerging artists, dancers, musicians and writers are responding to the site and the urban context that surrounds it. The site of Sky Island is many spaces at once. As a passageway, its grounds can go unnoticed. Situated within Chinatown, cars pile on layers of asphalt inside a neighborhood community in constant odds with developments and subsequent displacement. Snowy summits and lush environment frame the city’s glossy condominiums, an endless reflection focused on lifestyle as opposed to affordable living. Curated by Kara Hansen  

“天島”項目七月將會在221東喬治亞街的露臺舉辦一系列展覽和活動。為期一個月，新興藝術家，舞者，音樂人和作家會對近鄰城市化的現象做以回應。“天島”既是通道，又代表華埠車水馬龍卻被迅速拆遷与開發的現狀。雪頂，雨林，瓊樓玉宇日漸交相輝映，柴米油鹽也水漲船高。
