For Immediate Release

Carried Through the Water

April 15- June 26, 2021

Opening Reception, April 22, 7 - 9 pm

Nanaimo Art Gallery is excited to present Carried Through the Water, a solo
exhibition by Diyan Achjadi.

Carried Through the Water features Diyan's beautiful stop motion
watercolour animation Hush, alongside new and recent works on paper that
explore the impact of human activity on the ecosystem, including shifting
of shorelines due to climate change and land reclamation. Through visual
storytelling, Diyan’s work also considers how activities in one location
might impact multiple other locations. An ash-cloud from volcanic activity
on one island might change the colour of the sky thousands of miles away,
and the movement of people, objects, stories, and memories, can have
profound effects that reach across oceans.



Nanaimo Art Gallery will be offering public programs throughout the run of
the exhibition inspired by *Carried Through the Water* including our
monthly drop-in series, Art Lab Sundays where anyone can come learn Stop
Motion Animation on May 15th from 1 - 4 pm. We are also offering weekly
Friday lunchtime tours of *Carried Through the Water*.


Diyan Achjadi is a Vancouver-based artist who explores the ways that
surface ornamentation and illustrated printed matter can document the
circulation of ideas and stories in visual form. Born in Jakarta,
Indonesia, her formative years were spent moving between multiple
educational, political, and cultural systems.

Carried Through the Water is the first exhibition in which Nanaimo Art
Gallery asks the question: What stories do we tell? After the Nanaimo
iteration, this exhibition will tour to Burnaby Art Gallery where it will
be on display from July 15 to Sept 18, 2022.
