Love Intersections is a media arts collective made up of queer artists of colour dedicated to using collaborative art making and relational storytelling to address systemic racism in our communities. We produce intersectional and intergenerational stories from underrepresented communities of colour – centering the invisible, the spiritual, the metaphysical and the imaginary. We believe in deep and meaningful relationships, that intersectionality is a verb and a call to action, that we must cultivate social trust through collective care and community responsibility. Our desire is to provoke (he)artful social change through a lens of love.

2023 MAU Calendar on sale now!

MAU Calendar is a long term artist-initiated project aiming to re-imagine the way souvenirs function as objects and as vehicles to examine lesser-known local histories, cultural identities, and issues affecting the future of Vancouver’s Chinatown. Now in its fifth year, the limited-edition Risograph printed MAU Calendar continues to capture a contemporary portrait of the community while showcasing the work of local artists and community members. In 2021, VALU CO-OP and Love Intersections took over MAU from founder Elisa Yon to carry on the torch of the beloved project.
