Creative Morning Speaker Series: Sandeep Johal

CreativeMornings/Vancouver is a FREE speaker lecture series by and for the creative
community on the 1st Friday of every month.

Mays theme is NOW and we are honoured to host artist, author, and mother
SANDEEP JOHAL.

Sandeep Johal is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice engages drawing,
collage, textiles, and large-scale mural painting. Through her distinct Indo-folk feminine
aesthetic she confronts themes of bleakness, despair and ugliness with their dissonant
opposites: brightness, hope and beauty. In particular, Johal sets out to continue a
conversation about complex topics ranging from gender-based violence and femicide
to identity and motherhood. Johal has worked on notable projects with the Vancouver
Art Gallery, Burrard Arts Foundation, Indian Summer Festival and Vancouver Mural Festival as well as with clients such as the Vancouver Whitecaps, Holt Renfrew, Lululemon and Earls Restaurant Group. Her work is in the permanent collection of Surrey Art Gallery. Johal lives and works in Vancouver, BC.

Bonus live musical performance (artist to be announced).
