SUMMARY:SELL-OUT: Exploring the Commodification of Asian Cultures through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will consist of an exploration of the ways in which culture is commodified within a Chinese\, Indian and Tibetan context. Facilitators will touch upon and offer structure on the following themes: the commodification and appropriation of certain Asian cultures\, the negative impacts of this commodification on local communities as well as the legacies and effects of colonization\, globalization and neoliberal capitalism. This will be followed by an open discussion with guiding questions! \nThe goal of the event will be to facilitate a safe space for attendees to share their experiences and to visualize as a group sustainable futures for cultural preservation and appreciation\, in an era of rapid globalization. The first half of the workshop will consist of a short presentation while the second half will take the form of a guided group discussion. Attendees are encouraged to share their thoughts and ways in which commodification has impacted their respective cultures and communities! \n\nAbout the Pan-Asian Collective (PAC): \n  \nDorothy\, Sarah\, and Tara are members of the Pan-Asian Collective. PAC aims to increase meaningful engagement in Asian history and culture in a way that recognizes the diversity of the Asian experiences. We want to empower and grow the Asian community in Montreal ~and beyond~ and build a network of support\, learning\, and friendship. PAC is based in Tiohtiá:ke\, colonially known as Montreal. We acknowledge that this island is located on unceded and unsurrendered Indigenous land of the Kanien’kehá:ka\, the Nation recognized as the custodians of the land and water on which we gather today. \nDorothy Yip (they/them) is a McGill student hailing from Hong Kong. She is a new member to Pan-Asian collective Montreal. \nSarah Dhanani (she/her) is a McGill School of Environment alum who is working in Montreal as an environmental professional at Bombardier.
