At the crossroads of art and technology, Alliance Française Vancouver presents V-Unframed, its annual exhibition featuring local and international creators, from November 20 to 23. This year’s theme, “Storytelling Across Media”, invites visitors to explore how emotion, connection, and innovation intertwine across XR, digital, and interactive art.

The main public event from November 22 to 23 offers a family-friendly environment where art meets the future. The entire Alliance Française building will be transformed to offer more than 15 immersive experiences in different spaces, including the art gallery, theatre, artist studios, and more.

V-Unframed opens on November 20 with Quebec’s MOSAÏCO, a captivating dance and digital art performance in which five dancers interact with a responsive visual mosaic.

And Industry Day on November 21 unites French and Canadian creators, cultural institutions, and industry leaders in XR, immersive arts, and interactive storytelling for panel discussions, a VIP reception, and more.

Tickets and more details are available here.
