Archie Graham
ART REVIEW

Symbolizing contral over the
water, this venerated Chinese
mythological water-serpent will
bring with it not just the ancient
Chinese boat races inveiving up to
60 teams in 45-foot vessels, but a
hodge-podge of other
multicultural events.

West Vancouver's Rosemary di
Bernardo, the festival’s executive
coordinator, speaks excitedly of
building up “our cultural inven-
iory,”” eventuaily working up tea
whole ‘week's worth of jollitica-
tions!”

As itis, the three-day stint at the
Plaza of Nations is choc-a-blac
with entertainment ranging fram
concerts by the Vancouver Sym-
phony to strolling musicians,
larger-than-life puppets, an 18-
Projector, multi-image slide-
presentation called The Heart of
the Dragon, and the Latin-
American dance music of Sal Fer-
reras.

If this is not enough for you
there will also be a host of art ex-
hibitions representing Pacific Rim
cultures. This will include the
Dragon Boat Festival Legacy Col-
lection which consists of commis-
sioned works like this year’s
Dragon Chalice by Kinichi Shigeno
and last year’s ceremanial Steering
Paddle by North Shore artist Bill
Koochin.

Pacific Rim artisans will be on
hand to conduct workshops and
periorm demonstrations.

Masako Kato will be working
with siik, cotton, and synthetic
fabrics to make Japanese Azuma
and Kimekomi dolis while Michiko
Miyazaki will use dyed rice-paper
to product handmade paper art
works known as Chigiri-e.

David So will dlustrate Penjing,
the ancient Chinese art of
miniature gardens, and Maori
weaver Dawn Nathan will repre-
sent the native culture of New
Zealand by demonstrating the
loom-less, Tinger-weaving art of
Taniko.

Executive members of the new
B.C. School of Eastern Arts in
Vancouver, Linda Hu and Lai Yuk
Man, will bring with them a rich
repertoire of traditional Chinese
arts.
