Project Overview

About The Project

Chinese Canadian communities have long contributed to Edmonton’s civic and cultural life, yet their experiences of identity, resilience, and racism remain largely untold in public discourse when compared to those with Indigenous and Black backgrounds. Despite a growing population, these communities continue to face systemic barriers especially in anti-racism initiatives, storytelling platforms, and heritage representation.

Racism against Chinese Canadians is often subtle, chronic, and culturally specific. Many community members, especially newcomers and seniors, experience discrimination not through overt hostility but through language barriers, stereotyping, or exclusion from mainstream narratives. Language discrimination such as being mocked for accents or denied opportunities due to limited English proficiency is a form of systemic racism that silences cultural expression and limits civic participation.

Traditional East Asian values and ways of thought, such as Daoism, emphasize harmony, restraint, and reflection and can shape how racism is processed and expressed. However, most anti-racism frameworks in Canada prioritize confrontation and policy critique, which may not align with the lived realities of East Asian Canadians. Without culturally safe spaces, many carry racial trauma silently across generations.

This project responds to that need. By centering storytelling and traditional philosophy, it offers an alternative pathway to healing and dialogue, one that feels authentic, emotionally safe, and culturally resonant. The approach honors complexity and creates space for difficult truths to emerge with dignity and care.
