Brave the Wind
Bentall Centre
Check out the Artists' stories
The Brave the Wind lantern series features artists with South Asian ancestry, blending traditional storytelling with contemporary vibes. Queer Punjabi artist Jag Nagra returns to The Lantern City lineup, alongside illustrator Anu Chouhan and multidisciplinary artist Miles Saraswat. Each of their distinct styles harnesses the chaos within the winds of life—the vibrancy of human nature and the vitality of the animals we share the lands with. Through their artworks, we find new ways to brave the wind in this new year.
In these uncertain times, we draw courage from the Horse and strength in the beautiful diversity around us, to stride forwards into a brighter future together.
The Lantern City is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered on this land, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples whose arts and stories inspire us to bring communities together.
