Leading up to December 6th, as part of the UN 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence, we have started a letter writing campaign asking the Canadian government to ensure adequate and specific support is in place for Yazidi women and girl refugees. Our request for letter writers is attached and also available online: http://www.rememberoursisterseverywhere.com/forum/topics/letter-writing-campaign- in-support-of-yazidi-women-and-girls Also on December 6th, we will be putting out a call for women's groups across Canada to hold future discussion circles about government support of Yazidi women and girls. We will suggest that the discussion circles take place around International Women's Day 2017. Thank you very much for your interest and support over the years.

In commemoration of the final days of protests one year earlier, the project will launch online on December 10, 2015, raising questions about archivization and historicization, and how institutions record and display protest movements and cultural resistance. Here, in Vancouver, Canada, we will be presenting it in the form of an outdoor projection and installation. The title of the exhibition is derived from “Stand By You: Add Oil Machine 並肩上: 打 氣機” a spontaneous four-month project by artists Sampson Wong (黃宇軒), Jason Lam (林志輝) and friends that strategically projected political writing on key government buildings in Hong Kong.

Although they result in images of places or things, my artworks have more to do with the way I personally interpret what I see. My work is grounded in the natural world, but looks beyond the scenic to search for symbols and meaning in all that I encounter. My style is representational, with special attention to detail, structure and form. I want my visual, tactile, heart-felt creations to open the door to various potential meanings fabricated by the viewer in such a way that emotions can be stirred. -Ilsoo Kyung The Amelia Douglas Gallery Fourth Floor North, Douglas College, 700 Royal Avenue, New Westminster One block from the New Westminster SkyTrain Station Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday 10am-7:30pm Saturday 11am-4pm Closed Sunday Admission is always free Information: Amelia Douglas Gallery Douglas College Arts Events 604-527-5723 [email protected] Facebook 17 EXHIBITION: ON @ THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY Exhibitions: STARE from the collection To January 22, 2017 Featured artists: Roy Arden, Barbara Astman, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Karin Bubas, Dana Claxton, John Coplans, Denes Devenyi, Phillip-Lorc deiCorcia, Larry Fink, Rieke Dijkstra, Patrick Faigenbaum, Arni Haraldsson, Fred Herzog, Barrie Jones, Barbara Probst, Anne Ramsdoen, Mark Ruwedel, Reece Terris, Jeff Wall and O Zhang WALKER EVANS: DEPTH OF FIELD To January 22, 2017 Vancouver Art Gallery presents an exhibition of work by Walker Evans, a preeminent American photographer who shaped the history of twentieth-century photography.
