Two tours in one! Join Adrienne Fast, Interim Curator at the Art Gallery at Evergreen for a tour of the Selected Exhibition Meera Margaret Singh: What We Hold, starting at 12:30pm. Then move next door to the Town Centre Part Community Centre to join Hilary Letwin, Manager of Cultural Services for the City of Coquitlam for a tour of the Selected Exhibition Faber Mo Neifer: It’s All Chinese To Me.

The archive of a life is abundant. In the touring exhibition What We Hold, a series of photographic and sculptural still lifes by Meera Margaret Singh trace familial histories and memories through objects—some joyful, others haunted. Books, shells, vases, trinkets, rocks and plants narrate the time spent and the stories shared among family. These are stories of loss, migration, marriage, rupture, illness, recovery, healing and love. Through her large-scale photographs and sculptures, Singh playfully considers the varied definitions of “inheritance” to ask: What will I choose to carry? To keep? What will I pass on? What will I let go?

Guest curated by Noa Bronstein. Co-presented in partnership with Gallery TPW, supported and circulated by the Ontario Arts Council. This exhibition is part of the 2025 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program.
