this was the first ever shot I took when I started getting interested in photography. it's basically the first picture I ever took that was trying to be "creative." we planted a mini garden in our backyard and I just thought how cool it would look as a picture. I suppose it means a lot since it was the start of my love for photography.

Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival
Organized by Yan Zhou, Curator-in-Residence
Wednesday, September 17th from 4-6:30PM
Digital Creativity Lab (VAC 137).
Please join us for the "Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival" on Wednesday, September 17th from 4-6:30PM in the Digital Creativity Lab (VAC 137).
This event is part of “Diaspora Climate” organized by Yan Zhou, Curator-in-Residence in Social and Environmental Justice in the Arts at the Department of Visual Arts.
In this residency project, we explore the ecology of the diverse cultures and histories of diaspora communities, foregrounding their role as caretakers and warriors, upholding justice and solidarity with both local and home countries in their shared struggles against environmental, social, and political injustice wherever they live and prosper.
As part of the community engagement components, the “Diaspora Kitchen” program organizes events that bring together local and international communities to share food, stories, memories, and works. In the first “Diaspora Kitchen” event, we will celebrate the Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival.
The event will include three activities:
1: Mia Ouyang, a mathematician and visiting scholar at Western University, will lead the mooncake sharing and moon cake dice game (The Moon Festival Bóbing Game). This local tradition is connected to the complex history of Taiwan and mainland China, as well as to the ancient Chinese civil service examination system.
2: Andy Patton, a painter and a poet, who is an alumnus of Visual Arts at Western, will read the poem “Spring River in the Flower Moon Night” by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ruoxu. Andy said this poem is “the one poem I would save from the universal wreckage if all of China’s great poetry was being destroyed.”
3: We will screen a short film, titled “Qingbuliang & Tabbouleh”. In the film, displaced Syrian children and their families in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon and migrant workers’ children in Haikou City, Hainan Island, China, met online and shared their favorite food: the Hainan Island fruit bowl “qingbuliang” and the Middle Eastern salad “tabbouleh”, during the 4th Children’s Art Festival of Kindergarten Without Walls in Haikou, China in August 2025. During the screening, we will also share “Qingbuliang & Tabbouleh”.
