The book is edited by Gu Xiong and April Liu, with additional contributions by Chris Lee, Xiaoping Li, Xiaoyan Yang, Steven Dragonn, and Henry Heng Lu. The book documents Gu Xiong’s 2020-21 exhibition of the same name at Centre A and Canton-sardine — a major milestone in his repertoire. In unearthing archival images, some of which have not been seen for over 100 years, the multimedia exhibition brought significant chapters of Canada’s Chinese diasporic history to light.
The book is co-published by Centre A and Canton-sardine.
