| * must dim headlights at 150m at night
| | Her latest work, ''Ode to the Cheongsam'' is a meditation on the cheongsam, or Chinese dress. Poetic voiceover, clips from a Hollywood film, family photos, images from inside a cheongsam tailor’s workshop, and a Mandarin pop song weave throughout the piece to create a portrait of what this dress means for the Chinese female diaspora in the present day. www.givideo.org |

| | Like in her art, Cheryl exercises the power of hybridity in her music. She started in church choirs, played piano and clarinet in the school band, sang with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra chorus and joined her first "rock" band in 1996. Finally getting "off the page" she worked with two brothers from her home town in the trio Tulip and continued to forge ahead, singing on the streets of Miami and Montreal as part of a lounge duo called Olive which later evolved into the Montreal electronic lounge band named Gazelle. With Gazelle, she opened for the likes of Jay-Jay Johannson and Goldfrapp, and performed at the prestigious Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2000 and 2003. |
