PK Comics: Cultivating Heroes

Howie Tsui draws inspiration from mou hap, a popular martial arts genre that emerged in China during the mid-20th century. The characters and narratives emphasize courage, honour, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak. In this art-making activity, we will use watercolour paint and ink to create a comic book cover to illustrate a hero based on people in our lives—or from our imagination!

In the exhibition World Discovered Under Other Skies, Manuel Mathieu’s paintings reflect on Haiti, his birthplace, which has a grim history but is striving for a more peaceful future. In this workshop, guest-facilitator Dianne Cassar will guide families through a series of mindfulness and meditation exercises to inspire calm reflection. Participants will take the time to consider the world around them and their connections with it. Slow down and take a deep breath.
