May is Asian Heritage month, a time to reflect on

May is Asian Heritage month, a time to reflect on and celebrate the many contributions that Canadians of Asian descent have made and continue to make to the growth and prosperity of Canada. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of Canada's official declaration of May as Asian Heritage month.

While this month is a celebration of the diverse Asian cultures that make up our country, it is also a reminder for us to raise awareness on the challenges faced by these communities and to come together to combat anti-Asian racism and discrimination in all forms. We all have a role to play in protecting one another and helping create a more inclusive Canada.

Reminiscing about our days in the studio and the times we spent rehearsing for our main stage performances. While we're not clear of the pandemic just yet, we are excited for what the future holds and for the chance to share our rich culture with the community once again.

Here's a throwback to our dress rehearsal for Kawayan in 2016. 📸 @leahvphoto

Excerpt from the Folkmonção Festival in August

Excerpt from the Folkmonção Festival in August 2016, from rehearsal to performance.
-
International Folk Dance Festivals provide an opportunity for representative countries to showcase, share and promote traditional cultures through dance, music, and other art forms. The festivals typically happen in August and Kababayang Pilipino had the pleasure of travelling to Portugal for Folkmonção to share in this unique experience and we are looking forward to our next festival!

This Canada Day, let us take the opportunity to listen, learn and reflect on our country's history and the truth about the land we reside on. We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous community as we work collectively towards reconciliation and healing.

Below are just a couple of ways in which we can continue to educate ourselves:
- Read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) report and the 94 Calls to Action
- Take the free Indigenous Canada course offered by the University of Alberta

If you have any resources, readings, or additional ways of learning that you would recommend, please share. 🧡
