Covering Up – Masque Tea: A Tea in Disguise
Friday, Feb. 19th, 7:00pm to 10:00pm


Covering Up is an invitation to stage disruptions in a city in the midst of an exceptional moment. Begun during the height of preparations for the 2010 Olympic games, this project has invited individuals to participate by using domestic fabrics (bedding, curtains) as instruments of obstruction. A gesture of resistance, these individual and group cover ups materialize a playful and personal mimicry of the visual and political disruptions and obstructions that form the everyday in Vancouver.

Music by Rafael Tsuhida and the group Gyre with Ross Birdwise (click here for event details)

Urasenke at the World Tea Party

Urasenke Vancouver will be presenting on an ongoing basis at the World Tea Party during Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Olympic Games – a traditional Japanese tea room has been setup at the Centre A gallery.

Urasenke Vancouver also maintains the Nitobe Memorial Garden, a traditional Japanese Tea and Stroll garden located at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Nitobe Garden is considered to be the one of the most authentic Japanese gardens in North America and among the top five Japanese gardens outside of Japan.
