- **Event Description**: We Were Growers is an ongoing photography project by Danny Luong surrounding the Vietnamese cannabis farms that exist in British Columbia.About this EventThe aim of this project is to visit and photograph Vietnamese cannabis farms that exist in a ‘gray area’ within the law inside of interior British Columbia. The themes that run through the work are diverse but include the Vietnamese diaspora and Asian gang culture – and what that looks like now that cannabis is legal. One of the key things that drew me towards this project was the use of forests as a backdrop that exists ideologically in the Vietnam war and using that historical context to juxtapose images of Vietnamese men and women in the forests of interior BC. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/93994e80-72f3-11ec-85a8-bda8f2c6ca77-rimg-w720-h1080-gmir.jpg Pronouns: He/HimDanny Luong is an emerging photographer born and based in Calgary, Alberta.

Luong self-published his first photobook (departing...) in 2020.Luong is interested in ancestral lineages and the effects of history on generations of migrants. With an emphasis on duality, Luong’s graphic style recalls both snapshots and gritty photojournalism from a mix of medium format, 35mm, and digital stills. Luong’s subjects emphasize the tribulations of generations, shared cultural values and the effects of displacement on first and second-generation Canadian lives and the intergenerational trauma carried by uninvited guests on this land.
