Our ongoing Visiting Artist series continues with Vancouver-based artist Marlene Yuen, who will present a free illustrated public talk at 7:30pm Wed, Jan 15, in room A162 of UVic’s Visual Arts building.
Marlene Yuen is a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist whose current focus is on illustrations, prints, comics, zines and handmade books. Her books & zines have been retained in special collections archives nationally and internationally. She has also created artworks about Vancouver’s historic Chinatown and Chinese Canadian workers for museums, galleries and public art programs.
Her mural, “The Journeys Here” will be part of the travelling exhibition Odysseys & Migration at the Royal BC Museum in April 2025. She is currently working on a comic publication Hak Chu Pak for the Burnaby Art Gallery.
