Abstract

Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey, bc , Canada, 12 April–15 June 2014. Ruptures in Arrival: Art in the Wake of the Komagata Maru is the largest art exhibition to focus on the Komagata Maru incident of 1914. Conceived and presented by the Surrey Art Gallery and curated by Jordan Strom, plans for the exhibition were initiated three years ago in response to literary discussions, symposia, film, and written works in Vancouver that examined the impact and legacies of the Komagata Maru incident not only for South Asians but for all Canadians. Missing from those conversations were the voices of artists and their practices that also addressed this history. The exhibition was initiated to fill for the first time that artistic gap in these important discussions. In the past two years the gallery has partnered with eight other institutions and organizations; Ruptures in Arrival was one in a regional series of events, programmes, and exhibitions across the Metro Vancouver area that explored the journey and living legacies of the Komagata Maru , marking the 100th anniversary of the ship’s arrival on 23 May 1914.
