History Professor Laura Madokoro is pleased to announce the launch of the exhibit “More Than a Face” as part of the new Active History on Display initiative. Interrogating the notion of being Asian Canadian, the exhibit features nine storytellers who selected and then spoke to the significance of photographs or objects they found meaningful. The result is a diversity of stories that parallel the diversity within the very notion of being Asian Canadian.
The exhibit was funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, with support from the Carleton Centre for Public History. It was made possible by the amazing storytellers who participated in this project as well as the efforts and talents of Public History students Danielle Mahon and Sam Nicholls (alumni) and Sarah Hart (PhD Candidate).
