BAI BAI: Open Now

The Artsco Community Gallery is excited to announce the opening of Bengi Agcal’s Bai Bai.

Bai Bai is a 3D-animated multimedia video installation. The collection of videos explores the emotional and psychological stages of immigration, drawing upon Agcal's experiences of migrating from Turkey to Hong Kong and finally to Canada. Told through the migration narrative of a water tiger, the story depicts the tiger experiencing the shock of displacement, the anger and rejection of facing systemic barriers, and the eventual recovery and digital nostalgia for a lost home. These emotional stages reflect the complexities of migration as one finds oneself inhabiting multiple geographies, time zones, and digital spaces while belonging to none.

The exhibition is designed as a corporate environment with computer screens and office desks. A small corner of the gallery is dedicated to a projection which is superimposed on top of a wall mounted sculpture. The show will be open from Wednesday to Friday 12-5pm (or by appointment) and the last day is July 31st.
