Burnaby Art Gallery presents Kindred Tracings, a new exhibition featuring artists Muriel Ahmarani Jaouich, Minahil Bukhari, Russna Kaur, and Michelle Sound, on display from October 13 to January 21, 2024. An opening reception takes place on October 12 from 7 pm to 9 pm.

Kindred Tracings brings together the work of four contemporary artists who apply strategies of abstraction to give shape, substance, and colour to the experience—and failures—of language.

By dismantling and then reconstructing language, each of the exhibiting artists affirm the ancestral connections and traditions they’ve inherited. They explore kin and connection through a variety of mediums.

Tracing lineages across silenced histories, there is an emergence of new visual vocabularies that celebrate the domestic lives that have survived. While each artist is responding to particular family histories, they use abstraction to transcend individual experiences and resonate universally.
