Join us for an interpretive tour of Rajni Perera & Marigold Santos: Efflorescence / The Way We Wake, led by Dianne Miranda. Drawing on their own experience as a Filipinx Calgarian and sharing personal insights into the work, Miranda will be making connections between both artists’ practices and the transnational dimensions of diasporic experiences.
