In her book “Minor Feelings,” the poet Cathy Park Hong distinguishes between the major, spectacular emotions of racial violence, and the ambient, everyday kind of racial experience that is more difficult to see. Carmela Laganse and Taien Ng-Chan (as Centre for Margins, a performative research-creation collective) trace some of the sources of their own dissonant minor feelings back to their memories of growing up in the extremely white suburbs of the Canadian Prairies, steeped in 1970s and 80s western popular culture that emanated regularly from after school television. The sonic element plays with tv show theme songs and sounds of everyday objects, abstracted and remixed in a way that speaks to the experience of looking back and seeing how growing up in the Asian diaspora has shaped their adult selves. (The VR room also serves as the interface for the exhibition -- you can find portals to the other artists' Hub rooms scattered throughout).
