Broadcast Lab: Vicki Van Chau , Lili Yas Tayefi & Jiajia Li. Curated by Wakefield Brewster

Broadcast Lab: Hearth of the Lion by Vicki Van Chau. (Un)veiled Traditions by Lili Yas Tayefi, and Flashback by Jiajia Li. Curated by Wakefield Brewster. Flashback by Jiajia Li The song “Flashback” was inspired by a tune I often heard my mom playing on pipa when I was young. It is the product of my Chinese background and Warren’s polished pop sensibilities. One of the unique experiences of being a Chinese descendant in Canada is going to Chinese banquets. We decided to recreate this experience as a setting for the music video, and soon a character popped into my head. I had the perfect person in mind to play that character — my 72-year old flute student! --- Hearth of the Lion by Vicki Van Chau As a second generation Chinese-Vietnamese Canadian, my short films mainly focus on the Asian diaspora experience. My family and cultural identity has been a core inspiration in my artistic practice and helps me to promote the appreciation of both Chinese and Vietnamese culture through a uniquely Canadian perspective. My frequent collaborations with local artists and organizations allow me to showcase this community, in order to tell authentic and engaging stories. -- (Un)veiled Traditions by Lili Yas Tayefi (Un)veiled Traditions invites viewers to explore themes of identity, intersectional feminism, and intergenerational healing within a diasporic setting. Through Lili's memories of home, the short film, (Un)veiled Traditions, contrasts the dual identities of women in Iran. The mask of the chador, a traditional covering garment presented as an object of political compliance, becomes commonplace and devoid of meaning. ----- Flashback by Jiajia Li The song “Flashback” was inspired by a tune I often heard my mom playing on pipa when I was young.
