A Celebration of Asian Heritage Month
During the 2nd National Asian Heritage Month Symposium, many participants expressed their desire
to develop a national network of collaboration and exchange to strengthen unity between Asian
artistic organizations and artists across Canada. Festival Accès Asie responded to this call by launching
a National Showcase based on a collective program bringing together three Canadian cities to
celebrate Asian Heritage Month in May 2021. This event brought together artists from Montreal,
Vancouver, and Winnipeg working in the dance, music, and multidisciplinary fields.
Asian Heritage Society of Manitoba is proud to lead this program this year, working along with the
Festival Accès Asie (Montreal), Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society (Vancouver), and artists
based in Edmonton for the second national program. Working in collaboration, these three
organizations dedicated to Asian Canadian heritage will present The National Showcase / La Vitrine
Nationale online on Saturday May 28 at 7 PM CST, followed by a discussion period with the artists and
will be graciously moderated by Dr. Art Miki, founder and Jié Yang, board member of Asian Heritage
Society of Manitoba.
