Ever wondered what it takes to navigate the complexities of identity and culture, as a young immigrant?
In this two-part episode, Taiwanese-Canadian artist and educator Pete (Shouh) Young takes us on a journey through his life, sharing how his experience of moving from Taiwan to Vancouver at the age of nine shaped his art, his studies, and his sense of self. From the challenges of adapting to a new language and culture, to the founding of Young Guns Studio to mentor young artists, Pete's story is one of resilience, creativity, and a deep connection to his roots. Pete shares how his parents, a meaningful Chinese name, and food traditions, continue to influence who he is today.
