SUMMARY:In My Yesterday
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 proudly presents In My Yesterday by JJ Lee\, created in partnership with the Museum. In 2021\, JJ Lee generously donated over 50 documents\, photographs and artifacts to the Museum’s Collection. Complemented by Lee’s own artwork and family belongings\, this acquisition tells a remarkable story of her family’s multi-generational emigration from China\, between 1916 and 1957. \nIn My Yesterday is a timely exhibition as 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act. This discriminatory act banned almost all Chinese immigration to Canada only allowing 15 Chinese immigrants to Canada over a 23-year period. \nOpening Reception May 13 5:30-7:30 pm \nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CrQXIm2ODBZ/

SUMMARY:Opening Reception – Longing Belonging\, 100 Years 100 Stories
DESCRIPTION:Come out to the Varley Art Gallery of Markham on Saturday\, May 13\, and celebrate the opening of Longing Belonging\,100 Years 100 Stories curated by Long Time No See. This free public event will feature a ceremonial lion dance performance\, artist tours\, refreshments\, and more. \nLong Time No See is a collective of friends\, artists and educators\, is very interested in the untold stories of identity\, place\, traditions and people in community. Central to our work is the notion of Belonging. Centred in Toronto\, we strive to honour our ancestors by sharing and teaching the stories of how Chinatown came to be\, the histories that have been erased\, and our responsibilities to act in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. \nOver the last few decades immigration has increased to suburban areas: Scarborough\, Markham\, Richmond Hill\, while bypassing the older downtown Chinatowns. How have diasporic communities shaped their sense of belonging in these newer communities? \nPresented by the Varley Art Gallery of Markham in partnership with Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. Supported by the Canada Council for the Arts\, the Ontario Arts Council\, the Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham\, and the City of Markham. \nReserve a spot: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/opening-reception-longing-belonging-100-years-100-stories-tickets-597928268547 \nFor more information\, visit: https://www.markham.ca/wps/portal/home/arts/varley-art-gallery/all/upcoming/20231305

SUMMARY:Longing Belonging\, 100 Years 100 Stories
DESCRIPTION:Longing Belonging\, 100 Years 100 Stories\, a community engagement project and exhibition organized by the collective Long Time No See (LTNS)\, tackles Canada’s troubled colonialist history by marking the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Exclusion Act. LTNS members engaged with local Markham communities\, interviewing and photographing people in spaces that elicited sentiments of belonging\, and gathering images and stories to be presented in the gallery. It is important to note that 2023 is also the centenary of the signing of The Williams Treaties—bureaucratic legislation signed by the Government of Canada and seven First Nations resulting in the surrender of the final portion of southern Ontario territory to the Canadian Government\, including the land that the Varley Art Gallery sits on today. \nWith this project\, LTNS asks us all to reflect on the questions: What is our place on this land? What is remembered? What is forgotten? What is our role in reconciliation? How do we all belong?

SUMMARY:Henry Tsang: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:What happened in 1907 that led to racist and violent demonstrations against the Asian immigrant communities in Vancouver? How can we make sure something like it doesn’t happen again? \nBased on his 360° Riot Walk\, Henry Tsang has curated a book that combines essays and photography to shine a light on the darkness of Vancouver’s past and its uncertain future: White Riot.  \nHenry Tsang will be in conversation with two contributors from the book: community organiser Melody Ma and educator karine 吳玨穎. Join them for a powerful conversation about community\, solidarity and resistance. \nHenry Tsang is an artist who explores the spatial politics of history\, language\, community\, food\, and cultural translation in relationship to place. His artworks take the form of gallery exhibitions\, 360-degree video walking tours\, curated dinners\, and public art. Henry teaches at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver. \nMelody Ma 馬勻雅 is a community organiser and neighbourhood advocate for Vancouver’s Chinatown. She led a campaign called #SaveChinatownYVR that helped defeat a controversial development project at 105 Keefer\, and coordinated the Chinatown Summer Events series as a way for the community to reclaim space. Melody is a member of VPL’s Board of Trustees. \nkarine 吳玨穎 (she/佢) is an uninvited immigrant-settler-occupier un/re-learning on the stolen and shared lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish)\, Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

SUMMARY:Gallery 101 presents: After Exclusion\, Happy Fruit by Ed Kwan & Don Kwan
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 101 presents: After Exclusion\, Happy Fruit by Ed Kwan & Don Kwan\nMay 6 – June 10 2023\n280 Catherine Street\, Ottawa \nAfter Exclusion\, Happy Fruit by queer Chinese-Canadian brothers Ed Kwan (aka China Doll) and Don Kwan explores two centenary legacies. The first: the federal government of Canada’s racist enactment of the Chinese Immigration Act on July 1\, 1923\, which effectively banned persons of Chinese origin from entering Canada for 24 years before it was repealed. And the second: the Kwan family’s own centennial in Canada – a legacy that began with the arrival of their maternal grandfather Chow Kwai Fong in British Columbia. \nThe exhibition delves into the legacies in two parts. After Exclusion reflects on the both the immediate and lasting impacts of discriminatory government policies\, including the Chinese Head Tax (1885-1923); the revocation of voting rights at provincial and federal levels from Chinese-Canadians and those of South-Asian origins  (1872\, 1907\, and 1920 until 1951); and the Chinese Immigration Act (also known as the Chinese Exclusion Act\, 1923-1947); as well as continuing effects of colonialism and racism. In contrast and defiance of these histories is Happy Fruit: one literal translation of gay ( 开心果 ) and a celebration the brothers’ queer Chinese identities and family history using language and play. \nThrough installation\, sculpture and performance\, Don and Ed challenge traditional cultural norms and reflect on the intersections of culture\, identity\, and history.  Their remarkable works embody the power of art as expression\, truth-telling\, and activism. \nAfter Exclusion\, Happy Fruit opens Saturday\, May 6 from 2:00-5:00 PM at Gallery 101. Join us for art installations\, performances\, food\, mahjong and more to celebrate Asian Heritage Month and the opening of the exhibition. Artist talks\, tours\, and a special China Doll Karaoke and Bingo fundraiser for Yet Keen Seniors’ Day Centre are also in the works throughout the month. Follow @G101Ottawa on Instagram and Facebook\, or visit our website G101.ca/exhibits/after-exclusion-happy-fruit for upcoming event details. \nGallery 101 acknowledges the support from the City of Ottawa\, Ontario Arts Council\, Ontario Trillium Foundation\, and Canada Council for the Arts. We honour and respect the original people of the territory we currently occupy: unceded and unsurrendered Anishnaabe-Aki who have been living and working on this land since time immemorial.

SUMMARY:"Two-Gun" Cohen & China Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Two Gun Cohen (Morris Cohen) was a realtor in Edmonton in early 20th century.

In early 1923\, the Chinese community in Edmonton informed Cohen of the “Act” for help\, who was then Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s bodyguard in China. Dr.Sun “dispatched a telegram on May 17\, 1923\, to the Minister of Interior requesting that discussion of the bill banning immigration be suspended…” \n \nA lecture led by Dr. George Dong\, author of General Two Gun Ma Kun- Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s Jewish Bodyguard\, a biography of an Edmonton-based Jewish Canadian\, who travelled to China and\nbecame a leading military advisor for the Chinese army and Dr. Sun Yat-sen (the national father of modern China). \nIt is the first historical novel in Chinese in memory of Morris Cohen. \nThis lecture marks the 100 year anniversary of Cohen’s move to China. \nGeorge Shouliang Dong\, M.A in English Literature from the University of Guelph and ABD in Comparative Literature from the University of Alberta; is a retired Journalist for the CBC and RCI(Radio Canada International)\, and retired staff reporter for the BBC World Service\, and OMNI TV. \nHe is the recipient of the Daya Feng International Literature Award (2014)\, First Chinese Film-TV Literature Award (2022)\, Canada China International Film Festival Script Competition 2022\, and Alberta Newcomer Recognition Award (2022).

SUMMARY:SWALLOWING MOUNTAINS - Exhibition by Karen Tam
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Artist-in-Residence program\, the McCord Stewart Museum presents the exhibition Swallowing Mountains by multidisciplinary artist Karen Tam\, a tribute to the women of Montreal’s Chinatown from the 19th to the 20th centuries. In this immersive installation\, you will discover objects from the Museum’s collection\, works created by the artist\, objects belonging to members of the Chinatown community\, and photographs. \nThe exhibition explores the relative silence in public records and historical accounts of women in Montreal’s Chinatown in the 19th and 20th centuries\, as well as the discrepancy between the historical attraction to chinoiseries and Japanism and the reality of Chinese women living in Canada since the late 19th century. \n2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Chinese Immigration Act\, which banned virtually all forms of Chinese immigration to Canada. This policy\, combined with a head tax\, led to a strong imbalance in the proportion of women within Chinese Canadian communities\, who were prohibited from joining their husbands there. Despite their under-representation in the early 19th and 20th centuries\, Chinese women’s contribution to Chinatown’s vitality and economy was considerable. The exhibition Swallowing Mountains thus pays homage to the many contributions of women who have lived and worked in the neighborhood over the past century and a half. \nSWALLOWING MOUNTAINS\nThe title of the exhibition refers to the name that the first waves of immigrants from China gave to Canada\, Gold Mountain\, in reference to the gold rush and the opportunity to make a fortune in Canada. Over time\, the gold mountains of Canada’s El Dorado also became synonymous with the separation of families. Swallowing Mountains becomes a metaphor symbolizing the need to swallow\, one kilometre at a time\, the immense distance that separates loved ones in order to reunite them.
