OTTAWA – The Portrait Gallery of Canada is honouring Bhangra fanatic Gurdeep Pandher with a new multimedia portrait – A portal to joy. The exhibition can be experienced online now at www.portraitcanada.ca.
A Whitehorse-based dancer, teacher, and author, Pandher has become a global online superstar whose work has been viewed by millions all over the world as his performances and videos continue to transcend geographic and cultural boundaries. He has touched individuals in myriad ways, especially since the pandemic lockdowns, when in his solitude, through his dance, he radiated positivity to a world in isolation.
Curated by media artist, ethnographer, and theorist Narendra Pachkhédé, the exhibition explores themes of discovery, joy, connectedness, movement, and landscape. Pachkhédé writes in his curatorial essay that Gurdeep has “disrupted prevailing ideas around Bhangra” and that “through his Bhangra, he offers an archaeology of us, as if asking: what does it mean to be us in the contemporary condition of our lives?”
Complementing the exhibition, upcoming programs and events will take place at locations across Canada. Details will be online at www.portraitcanada.ca.
The Portrait Gallery of Canada (PGC) is a new kind of museum for Canada, one that will present the stories of the individuals and groups from all walks of life who make up Canada—in their own communities in all parts of the country and online.

1 month agoI was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

1 month agoI do like the manner in which you have framed this concern plus it does indeed supply me personally some fodder for thought. On the other hand, because of just what I have seen, I simply just wish as the feed-back pile on that men and women stay on issue and in no way get started upon a soap box involving some other news du jour. All the same, thank you for this superb piece and though I do not concur with this in totality, I regard your point of view.

4 weeks agoThe next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
