"All my work is a form of wishing."
"I thought art was a verb rather than a noun."
-- Yoko Ono

Quirky, obsessed, passionate, provocative, The Yoko Ono Project is a multimedia extravaganza that highlights the experience of three Asian Canadian women as filtered through and magnified by the icon of Yoko Ono. A celebration of the art, strength and unbridled imagination of "the most famous undiscovered artist in the world", The Yoko Ono Project is an inventive melding of music, performance and multi-media, and promises to explode myths and challenge perceptions about one of the most controversial of modern artists.
