The Vancouver run of Without Limits also features the Western Canadian premiere of a Banksy hologram installation, and a chance to make your own Banksy-type T-shirt using a stencil and spray-paint.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_14\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment4337393483978832576525444455596032\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 14<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-14\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90]]\" data-ad-loc=\"14\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-14\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--feature\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--left_sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rotimi Fani-Kayode exhibit vancouver\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/polygon_rotimi-fani-kayode.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=IToEvNeO0ke3DVKBTtjoyg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/polygon_rotimi-fani-kayode.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=IToEvNeO0ke3DVKBTtjoyg,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/polygon_rotimi-fani-kayode.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=t_fj601FVhqrNMPw4jP3Bw 2x\" height=\"700\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><figcaption class=\"image-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Rotimi Fani-Kayode: Tranquility of Communion is on at The Polygon Gallery until May 25.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--left_sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"emily carr exhibit vancouver art gallery\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vag_carr.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=c259VM4KSvL9sHuMaBf9tg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vag_carr.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=c259VM4KSvL9sHuMaBf9tg,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/vag_carr.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=Jmzj1rRy1QJvf3TvmBCgRw 2x\" height=\"1170\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><figcaption class=\"image-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">The Vancouver Art Gallery presents Emily Carr: Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape until Jan. 4, 2026.<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">Photo by Trevor Mills<\/span> \/<span class=\"distributor\">VAG<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Rotimi Fani-Kayode: Tranquility of Communion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-async=\"\"><strong>When:<\/strong> Until May 25<br \/><strong>Where:<\/strong> The Polygon Gallery, 101 Carrie Cates Court, North Vancouver<br \/><strong>Info:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-evt-val=\"{\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/thepolygon.ca\/\">thepolygon.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the Canadian premiere of a major survey of work by late British-Nigerian photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode.

Sculpture, photographs, video, costume, a public artwork and a new performance-based piece highlight Wong\u2019s engagement with personal memory, cultural history, familial legacy, Orientalism and anti-Asian sentiment within Canada. Many of the artworks have been updated or rendered site-specific for the Richmond Art Gallery. Archival materials include exhibition catalogues, magazines and personal photographs. Born in Hong Kong in 1956, Wong immigrated to Canada in 1963 and grew up in Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown before moving to Montreal in 1988. Her works were exhibited in Montreal and Vancouver in the 1990s and 2000s but have been shown less frequently since the 2010s.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_15\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment6552609987052443662660842477846528\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 15<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-15\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90]]\" data-ad-loc=\"15\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-15\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--feature\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--left_sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kihl 'Yahda Christian White exhibit vancouver\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bill-reid-gallery-christian-white.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=Zo8FwPV8lgQRSykpc1PL5g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bill-reid-gallery-christian-white.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=Zo8FwPV8lgQRSykpc1PL5g,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/bill-reid-gallery-christian-white.jpg?location=left_sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=PhEFskYrBy7T4QdRG9EKrQ 2x\" height=\"1050\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><figcaption class=\"image-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Bill Reid Gallery presents the first major retrospective of work by Kihl \u2018Yahda Christian White until Feb. 1, 2026.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Emily Carr: Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-async=\"\"><strong>When:<\/strong> Until Jan. 4, 2026<br \/><strong>Where:<\/strong> Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby St., Vancouver<br \/><strong>Info:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-evt-val=\"{\" data-evt-typ=\"click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vanartgallery.bc.ca\/\">vanartgallery.bc.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Featuring more than 20 of the B.C. artist\u2019s signature forest paintings, Navigating an Impenetrable Landscape celebrates one of Emily Carr\u2019s lifelong inspirations, the natural world.

The 26-year-old Samuel Barber created his Opus 11 quartet right between the two: not quite as much of a landmark of quartet writing, but a fine work nonetheless.

Also on the program is Prokofiev\u2019s exhilarating Third Piano Concerto with pianist Bruce Liu, and a curtain raiser by Canadian composer Cassandra Miller.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_19\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment2370713319115618073405632332955648\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 19<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-19\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90]]\" data-ad-loc=\"19\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-19\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--feature\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Books<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Perseverance by Stephan Kesting\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-perseverance-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=RzE6Bf2wZfm0qmlvkG9AeA\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-perseverance-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=RzE6Bf2wZfm0qmlvkG9AeA,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-perseverance-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=CGfNL7C-F5jKUkKfkQsByg 2x\" height=\"1063\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Last Exile by Sam Wiebe\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-last-exile-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=DD0UCBqyoUKow0DCvDDYpw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-last-exile-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=DD0UCBqyoUKow0DCvDDYpw,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-last-exile-cover.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=h2_9ryqqzJwkOUS2T7CVnQ 2x\" height=\"1052\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><\/figure>\n<p data-async=\"\">Spring offers a fresh start.

The seasoned adventurer, whose severe failing health set this trip in motion, does all the hard work for you in this page turner of a six-week, solo, scary and deeply rewarding adventure tale that delivers the human spirit writ large.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Last Exile <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By Sam Wiebe (Harbour Publishing, out March 25)<\/p>\n<p>Every season is the right season for an intriguing and entertaining crime thriller. And Vancouver writer Sam Wiebe is one of the best at delivering layered \u2014 and timely \u2014 stories. For this tale, Wiebe brings back his favourite private investigator, Dave Wakeland, who finds himself brought in to help prove the innocence of a woman accused of killing the retired leader of the Exiles motorcycle gang and his wife. The woman\u2019s lawyer reaches out to Wakeland, whom she has a history with, to help prove her client\u2019s innocence and, basically, keep her alive as forces within the notorious gang\/crime syndicate are out for blood.

This time out, the North Vancouver writer has turned her inquisitive mind to the 1914 sinking of the RMS Empress of Ireland. The ship began her 192nd trip across the Atlantic Ocean from Quebec City to Liverpool with 1,056 passengers and a crew of 423 on board. In the early hours of May 29, fog settled on the St. Lawrence River, and the ocean liner was hit by a Norwegian coal ship. Fourteen minutes and a lot of mistakes later, the ship had sunk and more than a thousand people died, making this tragedy the worst maritime disaster during peacetime in Canadian history.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Drop in the Ocean <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By L\u00e9a Taranto (Arsenal Pulp Press, out May 20)<\/p>\n<p>Based on personal experiences, this young-adult novel for ages 12 and older digs deep as it tells the story of 16-year-old Mira, who finds herself, after four years in various psych wards, in a Residency Adolescent Treatment Centre for obsessive compulsive and comorbid disorders. It\u2019s here she forms complex relationships with other patients and builds trust with her treatment team. Family visits offer Mira some breathing room and a break from her compulsion-driven life. They also show her, through her dying grandfather, that to live a life not dictated by her compulsions she must dump the inaccurate perceptions that are driving them.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_21\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment1542397727692198295284745064415232\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 21<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-21\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90]]\" data-ad-loc=\"21\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-21\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--feature\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embedded-image article-content--sidebar\" data-aqa=\"embed-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog\" class=\"embedded-image__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-the-teachings-of-mutton-cover-1.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=Id4v0EOomfigFUlMplkwbg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-the-teachings-of-mutton-cover-1.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=375&amp;sig=Id4v0EOomfigFUlMplkwbg,&#010;                https:\/\/smartcdn.gprod.postmedia.digital\/vancouversun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0306-spring-arts-preview-books-the-teachings-of-mutton-cover-1.jpeg?location=sidebar&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=750&amp;sig=NH05YgsVdzMjZnppdknTlg 2x\" height=\"875\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By Liz Hammond-Kareema and Coast Salish contributors (Harbour Publishing, out May 25)<\/p>\n<p>The story of a dog named Mutton, whose pelt sat in a drawer at the Smithsonian for 150 years until it was discovered by an amateur archivist, sets the stage for a conversation about the science and history of the now extinct Coast Salish Woolly Dog, whose coat was used by Indigenous weavers to craft blankets and other woven items.
