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:Virtual Video Tour of Woodland Cultural Centre (Mohawk Institute Residential School)
DESCRIPTION:The Mohawk Institute is one of a handful of Residential School buildings left standing in Canada; one of two in Ontario. It is the only one that offered in-person guided tours of the building until its closure for repairs in 2016. To meet the demand for tours and continue to fulfill our mandate to educate\, Woodland Cultural Centre pivoted to offering virtual video tours. \nThe virtual tour follows our guide\, Lorrie Gallant\, into the school\, where she provides insight and information into the 140-year history of Mohawk Institute Residential School.

We ask that you prepare yourselves for what you are about to witness and take time for self-care. For those of you working from home please be aware this tour is not suitable for children under 14 years of age and ask that you find a location in your home where you may watch the video without the presence of any children in your care. \n\nThere is no need to pre-register.

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.
