Event Details
Iconic. Essential. Electric.
A cornerstone of American theatre, A Streetcar Named Desire traces the unraveling of Blanche DuBois as she arrives in New Orleans to take shelter with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley. Clashing realities, desire, and delusion collide in this emotionally charged drama, revealing the fragility of identity and the harshness of truth in a changing world.
In turbulent and uncertain times, this iconic play could not be more prescient as we witness a family moving towards new identities and fighting for their vision of the American Dream. Tennessee Williams’ play is a portrait of a woman caught between the demons of her past and prospect of a new life. We invite you to witness the haunting fragility and urgency of this Pulitzer Prize winning play.

Jim Lambie transforms everyday architectural spaces into immersive, energetic experiences through his vibrant vinyl tape installations. These site-specific works are an extension of his acclaimed Zobop series, which uses brightly coloured strips of industrial vinyl tape to contour the architectural space, wrapping its form in optical rhythm and vivid saturation.
Lambie is a Glasgow–based artist, DJ and musician. His practice draws from pop culture, music and Minimalism, and he often uses inexpensive, ready-made materials. In the Zobop works, which date back to the late 1990s, he meticulously applies tape in concentric patterns that respond to and amplify the geometry of the space. The effect is both playful and disorienting—simultaneously flattening and deepening the visual field.
Installed directly onto the stairs and floor of the Gallery’s Rotunda, Zobop (Colour-Chrome) (2019) blurs the boundaries between sculpture, installation and drawing. The works activate the act of moving through space, turning the mundane journey up or down a stairwell into a psychedelic, performative experience and radically shifting how we understand place—in this iteration, the Gallery’s architecture.

What would you pack if you were forcibly removed from your home today? This is what photographer Kayla Isomura asked more than 80 fourth and fifth generation Japanese Canadians and Americans for her travelling exhibition, The Suitcase Project, which will be on view at the Museum of Vancouver starting November 20, 2025.
In 1942, approximately 23,000 Japanese Canadians and more than 100,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast were uprooted from their homes and placed in internment camps or incarceration. Subjects for The Suitcase Project were given 24 to 48 hours’ notice to assemble their things, similar to what many Japanese Canadians faced in 1942. Ranging from infants to 51-year-olds, they were photographed in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Western Washington. The photos show subjects with their luggage and what they decided to pack, in addition to video interviews and information about internment/incarceration.
Considering current debates on belonging, citizenship and representation, and while diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are challenged and dismantled globally, the history of internment/incarceration resonates today. The Suitcase Project forces viewers to think, “what if it were me?”
