SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections 2021: ChinaTOwn: Future Heritage(s) of Toronto’s Chinatowns
DESCRIPTION:A digital symposium exploring the past\, present\, and possible futures of how we define and develop chinatowns. \nWhat could the heritage future of chinatown look like? The ChinaTOwn digital symposium\, presented by Prof. Linda Zhang of Ryerson School of Interior Design at FCAD\, will begin the discussion by looking at the history and origins of architectural motifs that we now recognize in chinatowns today. \nFrom the first Chinatown in San Francisco\, to the world’s fairs that fascinated visitors with false portrayals of Chinese culture\, the symposium will explore exactly what defines the “Chinatown-ness” that we know today\, and how we arrived at that definition. \nThe symposium will also introduce some of the realities and challenges faced by Toronto’s existing chinatowns today\, as businesses are forced to move out and new policies affect the livelihood of these communities. These findings will be presented as part of our speakers’ bodies of work\, art and activism. \nThroughout the symposium the project will connect back to the exhibit installations to help us respond and develop what a heritage future might look like for chinatowns in Toronto. \nFor more information and to register please visit: http://www.myseumoftoronto.com/programming/myseum-intersections-chinatown-future-heritages-of-torontos-chinatowns/

SUMMARY:The Crowd Went Wild! Canadian Baseball's Love Affair with the Railway
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next online lecture in our 2021 series! Discover the role the railways played in popularizing baseball in Canada. \nJoin us on June 17 for the next online lecture in our 2021 series: The Crowd Went Wild! Presented by Canada’s premier baseball historian\, William Humber\, discover the role the railways played in popularizing baseball in Canada. \nCanadian baseball’s biggest myth is how Americans imposed it on us. Not so! We shared with them the modern game’s evolution from its folk roots. In some ways\, Canadians had an even bigger role. The railway system brought this early role to full maturity. Its independent growth in Ontario\, between 1854-1873\, was railway reliant. Railway porters were likely the first African-Canadian team in 1869. In 1934\, Babe Ruth started his epical trip to Japan with a rail stopover in Moose Jaw. The crowd on a Saskatchewan platform went wild! \nTo this day the GO train or subway takes most people to Blue Jays games and the VIA stopover in St. Marys Ontario is a homerun drive to Canada’s Baseball Hall of Fame.

SUMMARY:Coptic Museum of Canada Workshop (on Zoom): Making Music with Bottles!
DESCRIPTION:Join us in a fun and creative experience! \n\nSitting at home during lockdown looking for a fun activity to do with friends and family?\nWanted to play music but not sure how to start?\nDon’t read music notes and don’t have a musical instrument?\n\nNot to worry\, we can teach you how to make your own instrument\, tune it and enjoy playing your own music! \nWHAT YOU WILL NEED: \n\n5\, 6 or 7 glass bottles (pop\, beer\, water)\n355 ml (12oz) bottles\, should all be the same size\nWater jug\nDownload free app: Tuner Lite\n\nTo safely resume its activities during the pandemic\, the Coptic Museum of Canada has decided to offer workshops through the Zoom platform. \nThe first workshop will be held on Saturday June 19 from 1-2pm: Making Music with Bottles! facilitated by Nagaty Banayoty who together with his friends came up with the idea of playing music by whistling into bottles when they were university students in Egypt and could not afford an instrument. The idea was an instant success! They performed concerts for over five years and were eventually able to purchase a set hand bells. \nOnce in Canada\, Nagaty joined the Ingram Ringers. He also runs groups of hand bell ringers and bottle whistlers! Handbells and bottle whistling are not a Coptic heritage but Nagaty’s story illustrates his creativity and is an example of cross-cultural engagement. \nThe workshop is free for anyone from Grade 7 to seniors. \nThis is an introductory workshop with demonstrations of how you can make music with (recycled) bottles! There will be breaks to ask questions. \nPreregistration is required: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdw8yJ9faSeF4_V2Oa9PQfRPVVkpmSNS932JeRX1sCIBzOkgA/viewform \nRegistration deadline: June 13\, 2021

SUMMARY:Myseum: From Weeds We Grow: Birch Bark Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a Birch Bark Basket making workshop which is part of the STEPS Public Art “From Weeds We Grow” series. \nLed by First Nations artist Lindsey Lickers\, this workshop is a reflective exercise that not only allows participants to not only participate through creation\, but to dive deeper into their current relationship with the land base they reside on and the environment at large. This workshop will also explore how this relationship with the land has been strengthened by the knowledge learned and shared during the workshop. \nRooted in an expanded understanding of the importance of connecting to land\, creation utilizing natural materials combined with personalized symbolism of these learnings\, will be actualized through the medium of basket making. \nThe aim of this workshop is to share one way that Indigenous peoples honour this relationship through craft and provide an opportunity for participants to experience first-hand the interconnectedness in all things\, while also honouring their own experiences\, histories and relationships with the basket serving as the keeper of this new awareness. \nWe welcome those who don’t want to or are unable to participate in the making process\, but want to learn more\, to join. \nFollowing this workshop participants will have created a miniature birch bark basket used in medicine gathering. An online exhibit will present the final work alongside the creative process and learnings. \nFor more information and to register please visit: http://www.myseumoftoronto.com/programming/from-weeds-we-grow-birch-bark-basket-workshop/.

SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections Festival | Reimagining ChinaTOwn in 2050: Virtual Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:What will become of Toronto’s Chinatown(s)? Reimagining ChinaTOwn is a collection of eleven speculative fiction stories set in 2050 that boldly reimagines the future of Chinatown as a shared and collective vision. \nWritten during the COVID-19 pandemic in the early months of 2020\, each story explores a personal relationship to Chinatown in the context of the rising anti-Asian sentiment and growing uncertainty for Chinatown’s future. As the community authors speculate on the future in 2050\, their stories offer a visionary act of resistance by uncovering new possible futures and bringing to light untold pasts. Chinatown itself is an illumination of the histories of diasporas for those who know how to see. It is both a place and a condition; between generations\, between patterns of immigration\, between identities\, between others\, between countries. By envisioning Chinatown anew\, the stories create a radically more generous and expansive present moment by building a collective and shared vision for the future of Toronto’s Chinatowns. \nWith contributions by Eva Chu\, Helen Ngo\, Amelia Gan\, Emperatriz Ung\, Michael Chong\, Georgia Barrington\, Tiffany Lam\, Razan Samara\, Amy Yan\, Evelne Lam\, and Robert Tin. Each short story is illustrated and accompanied by a virtual reality (VR) companion. Organized by Linda Zhang.

SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections 2021: Akanzyla (Durational Performance)
DESCRIPTION:A virtual livestream performance on the future of Women’s work where audience members can drop-in anytime to watch and interact. \nAbout this Livestream Performance\nSynopsis \nAkanzyla is an Indian climate refugee living in T’karonto\, located in the Northeast region of Turtle Island\, on the shores of Lake Ontarí’io in 2050. The government has offered climate refugees housing in the run-down condos that flooded the land’s infrastructure in the early 2000s. Akanzyla is a polyworker\, offering spiritual caretaking services for online communities\, participating in algae cultivation and transformation experiments as a creative biologist in the Almanac Cooperative\, all while being the second parent to two children conceived through hybridized surrogacy in a nurture pod and making content to increase the value of her namesake coin. Given the climate circumstances\, she is only able to safely venture outdoors 1-2 times a week\, leaving her physically isolated\, yet weaved through digital realms of care and collectivity. \nIn this 7-hour live durational performance (attend for as little or last long as you’d like) you are invited into her apartment to witness a work day from a possible future where feminine principles such as interspecies communication\, ancestral intelligence\, ecological healing\, care and cooperation reign\, but conflict with the residue of destructive legacy systems including colonialism\, white supremacy and capitalism. \nAudience members will be invited to participate in collective work throughout the day\, sensing into what futures of how we labour are available to us. \nThis work is informed by Memory Work\, a foresight research project on the future of woman’s work led by FromLater and At The Moment (ATM). \n*Please note as this is a durational performance you can tune-in/watch for as long as or as little as you choose. Join during a break or have a window/tab open throughout the day. There is also a participatory option while you watch\, which isn’t required but recommended. \nFor further information and to register please visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/myseum-intersections-2021-akanzyla-durational-performance-tickets-150972104629.

SUMMARY:Mrs. Dalgairns's 1830 Kitchen – Mary F. Williamson with Elizabeth Baird
DESCRIPTION:Mary Williamson talks about the extraordinary mix of cuisine and culture in an 1830 cookbook\, with updated recipes demo’d by Elizabeth Baird \nIn her new book\, Mrs. Dalgairns’s Kitchen\, Mary Williamson examines an unusual 19th century cookbook\, The Practice of Cookery. The book was unique not only in being wholly original\, but for its broad culinary influences\, incorporating recipes from British North America\, the United States\, England\, Scotland\, France and India. \nMrs. Dalgairn was thought by her contemporaries to be Scottish\, but she had lived for over 20 years on Prince Edward Island in Canada. In Mrs Dalgairns’s Kitchen\, Mary Williamson reclaims Dalgairns and her book’s Canadian roots. In addition to the author’s experience of Acadian and Mi’kmaq foodways\, Mrs. Dalgairns lived in Scotland for a number of years and added recipes there to her repertoire. Her mother had come from Boston\, inspiring the cookbook’s several American recipes; Dalgairns’s brothers-in-law lived in India\, reflected in the chapter devoted to curry recipes. \nWhen The Practice of Cookery first appeared in 1829\, reviewers went into ecstasies and it was a top seller for nearly 30 years\, until it was finally eclipsed by Mrs. Beeton’s famous cookbook. \nMary Williamson will be joined by Elizabeth Baird\, who adapted some of the recipes in the book for modern kitchens. Baird—who found Dalgairns’s recipes extremely practical—will demonstrate two of the updated recipes from the book. A Question & Answer with both women will follow.
