Centre A's curator Makiko Hara is one of the four curators for this year's Scotia Bank Nuit Blanche in Toronto. Her project Urban Disaster/ Catastrophe/ Survival Actions will take place at Zone C, the Liberty Village area.

Urban Disaster/Catastrophe/Survival Actions will address the universal human ability to accommodate and survive memories of war, disaster and catastrophe through strategic creative survival actions. The intent of the projects is not to examine the ongoing disaster of catastrophe, nor to manifest some socio-political message on the global situation of disaster. Rather, it proposes an unexpected temporal physical and intellectual territory where we can put ourselves into a flow of imagination - to question how we can creatively revitalize our life, regain a joy of living, and share the aspiration of renewal.

One of the artists at Nuit Blanche, Norico Sunayama, will come to Vancouver and present her work at Centre A's Ourtube (October 28) and her live performance installation A Sultry World at Centre A on October 30&31. She will also be part of the Vampyre Love Ball, closing performance event for LIVE Biennale 2009 on October 31.

You can pick up a copy of this year's Nuit Blanche program at Centre A.
