Sayang weaves storytelling, photo-voice photography, orchid water cultures, and printmaking to share a personal autobiographical story of a family.
A series of vignettes are presented to actualize dialogue on the complexities of newcomer/migrant families by decolonizing stereotypical narratives of Canadian Born Chinese. An emphasis is placed on family identities shaped by resiliency, sacrifice, labour, and unity in the face of adversity, and endearing love.

Accessibility
We are partially physically accessible. We have a level entrance leading to our shop, information desk, galleries, washroom and traditional print studio. Unfortunately, we do not have automatic doors or an elevator. We are working toward becoming a physically accessible space in the future.
