Exhibit highlights stories of Burnaby’s South Asian Canadian communities through the years.
The Burnaby Village Museum will be launching a new exhibit, Truths Not Often Told — Being South Asian in Burnaby, on May 6. It will explore the “diverse experiences of Burnaby’s South Asian Canadian communities,” according to a City of Burnaby press release.
Dr. Anushay Malik, a Simon Fraser University visiting faculty member and co-curator of the exhibit, Malik noted that in the past, South Asians were frequently represented by mainstream media in an “exoticized and caricatured manner.” The exhibit, however, will focus on underrepresented South Asian stories told through counter-storytelling, which "helps us radically rethink the experiences of marginalized people, including how their representation changes the story.
The exhibit will take the public through the stories of the South Asian community in an interactive way, Lemke explained. The exhibit, she said, has been made possible through relationships fostered by community conversations last year about “what it means to be South Asian living in Burnaby.” The museum also established a South Asian Canadian advisory committee, made up of several community members, who were instrumental in curating the exhibit, and shared their diverse experiences and knowledge.
