her free Community Utopian Drawing Project, which is *an invitation to
enjoy drawing and using art as a communication tool, to express feelings
and identities.*

Bring a sense of playful fun, curiosity and a friend or two!

*Exhibition Opening Reception: *Friday, January 18th, 7pm - 9pm.
*Community Utopian Drawing Project:* Friday, January 18th, during the

*Tomie Seo*’s work depicts the hidden political and social structures of
the world by focusing on racism, gender and identity - those who are
repressed and victimized.

She believes that the phenomena of this world is intertwined and related -
like light and shadow, cause and effect - and often juxtaposes opposite
images through photo-realistic drawing, painting, video and sculpture with
electronics to create interactive installations which represent a diorama
or map of a whole structure or system.

She obtained a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an
MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art.

The Self-Directed Artist-in-Residence program is available to artists
working on creative projects anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months in length.
The program is intended to serve as a conduit between regional and national
artistic cultures by welcoming artists of any genre from across Canada to
the North Okanagan to live, create and commune. The artist stays at the
Caetani Cultural Centre and is invited to share workshops, readings and
exhibitions with the North Okanagan community.
