VERONICA CHEUNG
About
Veronica Cheung is a Toronto-based installation artist who primarily works in the disciplines of sculpture, sound, and video. As a first-generation immigrant who was born in Hong Kong and migrated to Canada in 2014, Veronica faces many challenges of being Asian and living in a dominant Western society. She feels the constant code-switching and how living in-between two cultures have dramatically affected her daily life. The old traditions taught by her parents in combination with the local culture and society she is currently adapting to, is a constant struggle. She feels this constant in-betweens position has dramatically affected her daily life. As a result, and as an artist, Veronica’s work tries to preserve and promote the traditional techniques of public and personal collective memories from Hong Kong; placing them in the Western society to raise the awareness of Chinese culture appropriation issue. She welcomes and encourages the viewers to be a part of her work.
