SUMMARY:Silk\, Bamboo\, and Gai Lan
DESCRIPTION:Calgary’s eclectic Gai Lan Ensemble presents a special concert to celebrate Asian Heritage Month. \nThe program is a conversation between the past and present\, where ancient instruments made from silk and bamboo give voice to exciting new musical works. \nYou will hear 5 new compositions written and arranged by Asian composers: Rita Ueda (Canada/Japan)\, Chris Hung (Hongkong)\, Guo Wenjing (China)\, Liu Xing (China) and Qu Dawei (China). We are also excited to premiere a brand-new work written for us by Gai Lan Ensemble’s very own erhu player\, Kainai musician Jace Eagle Bear. \nThis concert features renowned suo-na artist Zhongxi Wu from Vancouver\, talented erhu artist Lemon Wang\, and award-winning flutist Jiajia Li\, the leader of Gai Lan Ensemble. \nWe thank Calgary Foundation\, Moonlight Books and Gifts\, Asian Heritage Foundation and Calgary Chinatown Lion’s Club for their generous support of this event.

SUMMARY:Eating Bitterness - Canadian Journey of Exclusion to Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is about the resilience of Chinese Canadians against the lasting oppressing impacts of the Chinese Exclusion Act (1923-1947) that created absences in Chinese Canadian communities\, such as generational severance\, lack of representation in leadership\, and erasure from the dominant Canadian narrative. This history has been omitted from Canadian history and continues to be primarily unknown. Highlighting key Chinese Canadian figures in the community who fought back against systemic racism through various interactive elements\, this project reflects on an important part of Canadian history and to solicit viewers to participate – how can they re-imagine a more inclusive future.  An invitation for all Canadians – What would Canada be without me and my family?

SUMMARY:FascinAsian Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Land Acknowledgement\n\n\n\n\n\nThe FascinAsian Film Festival acknowledges that we live and work in the territories of the Anishinaabeg\, Cree\, Dakota\, Dene\, and Oji-Cree Nations\, and the heartland of the Metis people. Treaty 1\, signed in 1871\, took this territory from seven local Anishinaabe First Nations to make the land available for settler use and ownership. We thank the First Nations\, Métis and Inuit communities that have cared for Turtle Island since the beginning. With this acknowledgment\, we remind ourselves of discriminatory\, racist\, and colonial practices that have and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities across Turtle Island. \n\n\nFor more info about the films and ticket reservation\, please visit FascinAsian Film Festival 2024 – Calgary \n\n

SUMMARY:AHM in Schools
DESCRIPTION:During the Asian Heritage Month in May and around the Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27\, we encourage educators to utilize the following educational resources for school activities (Resources for Educators – ACT2ENDRACISM).  The purpose is to deepen students’ understanding of Asian Canadian history and experiences\, anti-Asian racism\, share stories that instill pride in students’ cultural heritage and promote positive identity development and a sense of belonging. \n  \n\n“Asian Canadian Perspectives: A Resource for Educators” – this resource supports culturally responsive and relevant learning\, central to provincial policies on equity\, diversity and inclusion. The resources are pathways to implement the Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum\, specifically in Language Arts and Social Sciences.\n\n\n“Let’s Talk: Video Series About Anti-Asian Racism” (with discussion guides) –  The Video Campaign Project aims  to increse awareness and understanding of anti-Asian racism through providing historical and contemporary underpinnings of racism and discrimination. The videos and accompanying discussion guides range in use for grades 4+ and 7+.\n\n\nChinese Exclusion Act and its impacts and stories from “exclusion to inclusion” (under development).\n\n  \nTeacher training videos are available on the website (Resources for Educators – ACT2ENDRACISM) to assist in utilizing these resources effectively.  A limited number of honorariums is available to support schools in need of funding assistance.  The application form is embedded in the information sheet.
