We continue to celebrate and embrace diverse stories in filmmaking, and introduce Toronto audiences to new and exciting voices in Asian cinema. We’re extremely proud of the creators, panelists, and media influencers whose films, events, exhibits, and industry sessions make up our November festival, which will spark meaningful conversation on Asian representation in the arts. This year we shine a spotlight on local artist Lillian Chan, whose body of animated work is a reflection of her multi-faceted talent across a variety of projects. She explores the world of VR in her newest piece, Yumi and Boom. Giving life to an event of this magnitude requires the unparalleled contributions of our dedicated staff, passionate volunteers and outstanding Board of Directors. As a charitable organization, we are grateful for the support and generosity of our members, donors, government funders, sponsors, and community partners that have given Reel Asian the tools to continue to grow and serve our film- making community in Toronto and internationally. We also recognize the courageous and talented filmmakers that have often made hard choices to create and share their stories with audiences, which we’ve had the pleasure to share with Toronto through Reel Asian. Lastly, we must not forget to thank the audiences - you! - for coming out and enjoying the movies and events with us. See you at the festival!

    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • Negotiating Toronto's Vietnamese
    EATING VERSUS SELLING AUTHENTICITY: NEGOTIATING TORONTO’S VIETNAMESE CULINARY LANDSCAPE BY NANCY HUYNH A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA OCTOBER 2012 COPYRIGHT © NANCY HUYNH, 2012 ABSTRACT Despite the popularity of Vietnamese cuisine in Toronto, there is limited understanding of how this culinary cuisine is socially constructed through its consumption and production. This thesis research examines the production of Toronto’s Vietnamese culinary landscape with the aim of unpacking the discursive power relations between consumers’ and purveyors’ construction of authenticity through the processes of racialization. It also highlights the identities created through racialized consumption and production practices, and how such identity constructions are constitutive of Vietnamese culinary culture. To this aim, consumers were surveyed and in‐depth interviews were conducted with owners and managers. Results from the fieldwork process demonstrated that both consumers and producers construct authenticity and images of Vietnamese culture for their own benefits but had different, and sometimes confounding, understandings of how such constructions are interpreted and practiced. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Audrey Kobayashi for her advisement through the research and writing processes of this thesis. Her commitment and mentorship helped me through the up and downs of each stage of the Master’s program and was influential to my completion of this thesis. A thank you to my examining committee, Dr. Heather Nicol, Dr. Laura Cameron, Dr. Petra Fachinger, and Dr. Audrey Kobayashi, for their helpful and thought‐provoking comments, questions, and suggestions.

  • Festivals, Festival Foods, and Dietary Acculturation: a Journey of Hybridization and Identity Formation for Chinese International Students in Ottawa
    FESTIVALS, FESTIVAL FOODS, AND DIETARY ACCULTURATION: A JOURNEY OF HYBRIDIZATION AND IDENTITY FORMATION FOR CHINESE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN OTTAWA By Shihan Liu A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication and Media Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © Shihan Liu, 2019 ABSTRACT Through participant observation at the 2018 Ottawa Night Market Chinatown and interviews with fifteen post-secondary Chinese international students in Ottawa about their dietary acculturation, this research aims to answer the following questions: How does hybridity play out in Chinese students’ dietary acculturation? What are the impacts of festivals and festival foods on hybridization and identity formation? The findings suggest that Chinese students do become more “hybrid” in their food practices, but this is less so from incorporating Canadian food habits, and more a result of increased consumption of various Chinese regional cuisines and Asian cuisines. However, becoming more hybrid does not weaken the participants’ Chinese identity; rather they retain it through attending the Night Market, celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, and maintaining cultural beliefs related to food choices, health and nutrition. This study suggests that hybridization involves multi-cultural and multi-dimensional influences, and confirms that hybridization is distinct from identity formation. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey of dietary acculturation and ethnic identity all started about three years ago when I met Dr. Irena Knezevic in her Food and Communication class. The short documentary that I made for the class assignment named One Day gave an insight into the lives of two Chinese students, who were also my friends at Carleton.
