Panel Discussion: Navigating Montreal's Cross-Cultural Landscape

"Interconnecting Dialogues" is a continuation of Arts East-West's Panel Discussion series, moderated by Guy Rodgers. This panel will discuss pathways for bridging the gaps between generations and sectors in the arts, and building new bridges between cultural communities.

The first session of this panel brought together Cheryl Sim, Abdul-Wahab Kayyali, Janet Lumb, Kakim Goh, and Jinwoo Park to discuss personal narratives of navigating the arts as an Asian artist. This second session will expand on an inter-generational and cross-cultural lens by including younger artists and non-Asians in the arts sector, to better discuss how to support each other.

The key themes discussed in the panel will include:

• Building sustainable bridges between Asian-Canadian, anglophone, francophone, and other cultural communities
• The role of intersectionality in shaping artistic identity and practice
• Pathways for continuing and deepening intercultural dialogue

The panelists include:

• Guy Rex Rodgers (Panel Moderator)
• Tyra Maria Trono (Artist, cultural worker, and curator)
• Nick Maturo (Director of Programming at ELAN)
• Mona Maarabani (Producer, director, and programmer)
• Madeleine Le (Student, emerging cultural worker)
