Momentum: Power and Identity In Sports
Momentum: Power and Identity in Sports repositions athletics as a vital, yet long undervalued site of Chinese Canadian presence within Canada’s national story. As early as 1900s, Chinese Canadians have participated in, excelled at, and helped shape Canadian sport, yet their contributions have too often been overlooked or excluded from dominant historical narratives. This absence is not incidental. In Canada, sport is deeply intertwined with patriotism, citizenship, and belonging. To be written out of sporting history is, in many ways, to be positioned outside the national imagination, to be seen as peripheral, un-Canadian, or not fully participating in the collective story of the nation.
This exhibition seeks to write Chinese Canadians back into that story.
