Sarah Tue-Fee

Sarah Tue-Fee received her BFA from the University of Ottawa in 2012. Born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, her work has been exhibited and collected widely in group shows and catalogues in Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto. She was awarded the Jennifer Cayley Award from M.A.S.C in 2010 and received the Edmund and Isobel Ryan Visual Arts Scholarship from the University of Ottawa in 2012. She currently lives and works in Montreal.
Her paintings explore techniques of collaged imagery, translated through paint to create personal, ‘original’ spaces out of existing images. Through these hybrid translations, she creates improbable settings in which narratives can appear both familiar and otherworldly. By synthesizing found images of contrasting constructed and organic environments, her work aims to evoke a sense of spatial collapse, instability, and disorientation. Areas of representation disintegrate into abstract brushstrokes, as bright clashing colors intensify these overwhelming and uninhabitable settings where strange narratives can emerge.

Sawagi Taiko

Sawagi Taiko is the first all-women's taiko group in Canada, formed in 1990. In Sawagi Taiko, we pool our common and unique experiences as East Asian women living in Canada and focus our creative energy and ideas into a powerful expression that is always heard and can't be ignored. As a performing group, we're looking to smash hierarchies and create an environment where all our members can initiate and explore their artistic visions.
Sawagi Taiko continues the historical and cultural connections amongst different Asian cultures - the instrument originated in China; the artistic form originated in the rural communities of Japan. The members of the group are of Chinese and Japanese ancestry. We explore our different ancestral legacies in our art form and our pieces reflect our diverse experiences as East Asian Canadian women.
==Reasons we play==
The arts have always flourished in the immigrant Asian communities. However, these arts have been buried in the stereotypes of Asians as quiet and hardworking but basically mechanical and uncreative. Sawagi Taiko is our vehicle to show the power and creativity of Asian culture, particularly of Asian women. We offer an alternative to the stereotype of Asian women as quiet and demure. As well, the opportunity to work in a group composed only of Asian women is very empowering in North American society.
Working from a common cultural basis nurtures a mutually supportive environment in which all members' talents are easily facilitated. In Sawagi Taiko we are exploring a different way of working together artistically, trying to encourage and support each other's creative initiatives. The camaraderie and personal connections that we foster in the group translate into a group intimacy in performance that audiences notice and enjoy.
Schema Magazine

Schema Magazine is an online magazine founded in 2003.
In 2003, Alden E. Habacon, Schema Magazine's founder, began to rethink the idea of the ethno-cultural "mosaic" and concluded that it was an obsolete concept in what he calls Canada's Diversity 2.0. With a handful of like-minded Asian Canadian creative leaders and the support of some of Vancouver's influential mentors, we envisioned a magazine about today's real-life diverse mainstream, aimed at those who recognized that they were informed by their ethnicity, but no longer defined by it. We wanted our magazine to really reflect us—and our cosmology as the most culturally mobile, ethnically diverse, globally connected generation of Canadians to date. We wanted to illuminate the complex diversity we intuitively live everyday. After all, there were cultural spaces to explore, the results of immigration, family roots and our connection to diverse cities all over the world.
We borrowed the term "cultural navigators," to describe our role as travellers through a complex web of communities. We are a generation that can map our fluid cultural identities. We call this dynamic trail schema.
We launched Schema Magazine's Daily Dose of Ethnic Cool in February 2004. This blog explores the unique evolution of diversity in the lives of cultural navigators—through design, food, music, art, film, or comic books—everything that cultural navigators actively consume as part of their daily lives. In June 2009, Schema Magazine expanded to include an editorially-driven section called InDepth, regularly publishing feature articles, profiles, travelogues and commentary. Our first "release" addressed the question "But where are you really from?", speaking to one of the most common experiences of cultural navigators in North America.
Canada is still changing. Cultural navigators, often over-simplified as ethnic or visible minorities, are the fastest growing segment of the general population. Our original intention was to burst through outdated paradigms, but what we have also created is a space where anyone interested in our explorations, our journeys and our complexities can feel included.
The underlying concepts: Schema and Cultural Navigators.

Seva Canada

Seva Canada was incorporated in Vancouver in 1982 at the impetus of Alan Morinis and Bev Spring. Alan and Bev knew the Brilliants from the smallpox eradication program in India and both were serving on the Board of Seva Foundation. They wanted to develop support for Seva’s work in Canada and engage Canadian government support and funding.
Seva Canada’s activities initially focused on providing a supporting role to the Foundation’s activities. Like the Seva Foundation, Seva Canada began to branch into areas other than sight and became involved in funding a street youth program and a literacy program in Vancouver. At a strategic planning meeting in 1999, Seva Canada decided to focus only on our area of greatest strength, the work to preserve and restore sight to those who need it most.
Seva Canada and Seva Foundation - sister organizations
In recent years, Seva Canada has developed its own program goals and objectives complementing those of the Seva Foundation, but which are also uniquely its own. Our particular focus is on community ophthalmology programs and the barriers women, children, the very poor, and those living in rural area face in trying to access eye care.
For many years Seva has worked with partners in India, Nepal, Tibet and Tanzania. In July 2008, three more countries were added to Seva Canada's sight programs: Guatemala, Cambodia and Egypt. These three country partners had been supported by our sister organization, Seva Foundation, for some time.
Shabnam Merali

From a young age, Shabnam Merali, a Sufi and Qawaal artist from Edmonton, Canada, discovered spirituality in music through ginans — a form of Ismaili devotional literature. Reciting permutations of the word Ali, which held a special significance for her, has now become the hallmark of her singing. It permits a feeling of transcendence — a sense of being lost in the music. The theme of transcendence reverberates among many spiritual musicians.
When asked about how she feels during a performance, Merali responds: “Feelings are tremendously difficult to articulate, especially if they are characteristically transcendent.” She says that once she immersed deep in the music, she feels a freedom from her own self. Her identity merges with the collective; the energy of the audience returns through her singing in a progressively intensifying cycle. Merali emphasises that she must believe in the music, be truly devoted to it, in order for her to touch others.
