Vancouver 
Events Description
On January 11th, join us for a compelling reading of excerpts from the memoirs, Landbridge by Y-Dang Troeung and Carmen Aguirre’s Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter. Both Y-Dang and Carmen’s works resist traditional forms of the refugee memoir and examine the problematic image of the “grateful” refugee’s arrival in Canada.
Carmen will be in attendance and Y-Dang’s work will be read by her husband and collaborator, Chris B. Patterson (aka Kawika Guillermo). The readings will be followed by a conversation with Dr. Amanda Cheong from UBC’s Sociology department.
The authors’ books will be on sale at the event.
This programming is part of our engagement with Pier21’s travelling exhibition Refuge Canada—on view at the MOV until February 2nd, 2024.
