Canada Events

APF Canada, on behalf of the Kakehashi Project, is pleased to invite all Kakehashi alumni to join a Watercolour Still-life Painting Workshop led by Atleigh Homma, yonsei artist and great-granddaughter of pioneering Japanese Canadian social justice advocate Tomekichi Homma.

Ms. Homma will present on her work and the ways in which her family history and Japanese heritage continue to resonate in and shape her practice and her artistic and personal identity. Following her talk, Ms. Homma will lead the group in a watercolour workshop, providing group and one-on-one guidance to participants on technique and application.

The workshop is open to painters of all levels, and all supplies will be provided. Participants are invited to bring a cherished item of their own—preferably something related to Japan—to include in the shared still-life experience.

The workshop will be followed by light refreshments and discussion. 

Please join us for a conversation with Jonathan Cheng, author of Korean Messiah: Kim Il Sung and the Christian Roots of North Korea's Personality Cult, about the history Pyongyang, a city once dominated by Christianity so much so that it was known as the 'Jerusalem of the East.'

Jonathan is the China Bureau Chief for The Wall Street Journal, and was previously the Journal's Korea bureau chief, covering North Korean and South Korean politics and business. 

PolyMonde, in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and Le POINT (Polytechnique International), invites you to join us for a forum dedicated to the strategic and economic issues facing South Korea. The conference will provide an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges South Korea is facing within the context of Canada's own middle-power perspective.
