Tariq Hassan Gordon

Picture
Tariq Hassan Gordon was a child of the art community in London, Ontario. His parents, Jamelie Hassan and Dave Gordon, as well as their future life partners, Ron Benner and Dorene Inglis, are artists, as well as many of their friends.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in July 2020, Tariq working with Ron and Jamelie re-envisioned the Embassy Cultural House (ECH) as a virtual art space and website to re-unite the arts community from the ECH era (1983-1990). Visit his website for more information. You can also read about Tariq growing up in the London Arts Community.

OUR STORY
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

The Embassy Cultural House gratefully acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council and the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program.

The Embassy Cultural House (ECH) is located in London, Ontario, Canada on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Attawandaron and Huron-Wendat peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Wampum and other treaties. The ECH strives to create meaningful relationships between the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and our contributors. The ECH honours the stewardship of the many Indigenous peoples who have resided on these lands since time immemorial.
