This collaboration between the Eastside Arts Society, VLACC, and Curated Tastes brings together studio visits, dialogue, and a community reception—a signature format of Curated Tastes events. Join us in celebrating Latin American Heritage Month with a specially curated studio hop highlighting Latin American voices in Vancouver, presented as part of VLACC’s Latin Expressions program. Guided by curator and art historian Miret Rodríguez, this event offers an intimate opportunity to step inside three artists’ studios, hear directly about their practices, and reflect on the vibrant cultural diversity that flourishes on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
We’ll begin the tour at Hackspace (601 Venables St) before making our way over to Parker Street Studios for additional studio visits and the closing reception.
This studio hop features:
- Angie Jaimes, a Colombian artist working with glass to explore memory, identity, and the invisible boundaries of intimacy.
- Pilar Mehlis, a Bolivian-Canadian painter whose work reflects her journey across cultures and her connection to faith.
- Camila Pabón, a Colombian artist whose geometric abstractions transform everyday objects into layered, multidimensional compositions infused with vibrant hues and cultural resonance.
The afternoon will conclude with a lively reception of wine and nibbles, graciously hosted by artist Samira Sukhatme in her studio on Parker Street. Originally from India, Samira is connected to Vancouver’s Latin American art scene through her participation in an upcoming exhibition curated by Miret Rodríguez at THIS Gallery, featuring Mexican artists Angie Quintanilla Coates and Alejandra Morales.
It’s an afternoon to connect with artists, exchange ideas, and celebrate the richness of Latin American creativity here in Vancouver’s Eastside
