Highway to Heaven Cultural Collaborations
Richmond Museum, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Richmond Children's Art Festival Workshop
In 2013, the Richmond Museum curated the exhibit, Highway to Heaven: Richmond's Multi-faith Community. Within the City of Richmond, Number 5 Rd. known as the "Highway to Heaven," hosts many faiths. Side by side are numerous houses of worship, including Buddhist temples, a Sikh gurdwara, Hindu and Swami temples, Shia and Sunni mosques, Christian churches, and Jewish, Islamic and Christian schools. This exhibit highlighted the various faiths in Richmond, British Columbia, and focused on themes of immigration, diversity, and community service.
Kimberly created an art workshop, Highway to Heaven: Cultural Collaborations for Richmond's Children's Art Festival. The children drew personal symbols of their cultural beliefs inspired by the exhibit and collaborated with their peers to make a collage. The workshop allowed children to reflect on their cultural identities, creating awareness and insight for their peers.
