WePress presents a preview of their forthcoming book featuring a collection of stories by Chinese seniors from Vancouver’s Chinatown. The book will be the culmination of a series of intergenerational storytelling and art-making workshops and forefronts Chinese seniors’ voices and experiences.
During workshops held at WePress, Carnegie Community Centre, and nə́c̓aʔmat ct Strathcona Branch of the Vancouver Public Library, Chinese seniors explored various themes, including friendship, home, food, health, and gardens while they made art, including rice paper flowers, brush painting and calligraphy, and hand-carved rubber block prints. The seniors shared intimate stories of joy, finding community, hardships of migration, and struggles against displacement with young Chinese Canadians who listened, asked questions, and recorded the seniors’ stories. With care, these stories will be transcribed, translated, and curated to document the untold contemporary narratives of Chinese Canadians that are crucial to the future of Chinatown. The book will be available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and English.
Join us for an afternoon of stories, mingling, art-making, and a chance to pre-order the book. Guests will enjoy tea and refreshments and get a chance to meet the Chinese seniors whose stories are featured.
This project is a collaboration of WePress and the Powell Street Festival Society, with participating organizations Yarrow Intergenerational Society for Justice, Carnegie Community Centre and Oppenheimer Park, Gallery Gachet, nə́c̓aʔmat ct Strathcona Branch of the Vancouver Public Library, and our Venue Sponsor, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
We thank the Vancouver Foundation, Government of Canada through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, City of Vancouver, BC Arts Council, Community Impact Real Estate Society, and Opus Art Supplies for their generous support.
