Discover the New Seed Lending Library at Asian Library

By phchow on May 31, 2024

Now is a good time to plant! Come get some seeds for your garden or a windowsill pot at the Seed Lending Library, newly opened in Asian Library.

The process is simple:

  1. “Sign out” seeds by writing the date, your name, and which seeds you are taking in the Visitor’s Log
  2. Take the seeds with you to plant and grow.
  3. When your plants have grown and you have harvested them, please save some seeds to bring back to us, “returning” the seeds for the next user.

Anyone can borrow the seeds and you do not need to have a UBC Library Card.

Asian Library is UBC Library’s fourth seed lending library location. Each branch location has slightly different seeds. Asian Library’s seeds include Bok Choy, Cilantro, and many more.

Find out more about seed lending libraries, the other branch locations, saving seeds, etc., here.

Come check us out!

Patterns as Poetic Practice: A Global Conversation Through Textil Cartographies

By phchow on May 7, 2024

Please come by the Asian Centre foyer to view “Patterns as Poetic Practice: A Global Conversation Through Textile Cartographies.” The exhibition will run from May 7 to July 3, 2024. This collaboration between the Art Education Program, The Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy and the Asian Library offers an enriching experience that transcends cultural boundaries and celebrates the artistic beauty of textile traditions from various corners of the globe.

“Patterns as Poetic Practice” is more than just an exhibition; it represents a transnational, transdisciplinary journey that brings us together with international partners. It weaves together narratives of cultural heritage, creativity, and individual and communal experiences. Featuring over 200 textile artworks from countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, Egypt, Iran, India, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, and the United States, this exhibition serves as a testament to the power of patterns in conveying stories that transcend borders and continents.

Please join us in exploring the rich tapestry of meanings woven into each textile artwork, fostering a deeper appreciation for the poetic potential of patterns in shaping our collective understanding of the world.

Curatorial team:
Elly Yazdanpanah
Elmira Sarreshtehdari

Supporting team:
Lei Chen
Mengkai Zhang’s (Eddie)

This exhibition is a part of the broader arts-based participatory international research initiative known as Textile Cartographies, guided by Canada’s coordinators Anita Sinner and Elly Yazdanpanah.

The project draws upon research supported by the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) [Anita Sinner, PI, NFRF-2022-00245, Worlding Higher Education Differently: Co-creating a Technology-Art-Science Commons].

Cette exposition est soutenue par le fonds Nouvelles frontières en recherche du gouvernement du Canada [Anita Sinner, chercheuse principale, NFRF-2022-00245, Worlding Higher Education Differently: Co-creating a Technology-Art-Science Commons].

We invite all our users to come and view our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Asia display, located on the upper floor of the Asian Library.

The display underscores how EDI challenges and developments are not universal. Asia is home to a vast plethora of countries and therefore diverse cultures, ethnicities, religions, languages, and more. Asia faces different challenges and enacts different approaches, not only compared to Canada but within the region itself. Gender (in)equality and LGBTQIA+ rights are quite prominent in the Asian EDI discourse, but themes such as disability, age, immigration, and religion are just as present.

The display highlights just a selection of the EDI-related resources in the Asian Library’s collection that touch on these topics, including titles from our Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu collections. Our librarians and team can assist you in finding more according to your needs. The display was made possible through the efforts of our student librarians Fin Bartels, Nobu Kawaguchi, Iori Khuhro and Grace Park with the support of the entire Asian Library team.

EDI is an acronym that stands for equity, diversity, and inclusion. Equity is the recognition that not everyone is starting from the same place or history [1] and opportunities that “obtain justice, fairness, and equality without impartiality or barriers,” [2] must be created. The term diversity describes the differences in people’s lived experience and perspectives [3] and how these differences will shape experiences and actions. “Diversity includes race, sexuality, gender, physical disability, mental abilities and disabilities, economic reality, class in society, etc.” [4] Lastly, inclusion is the “active, intentional, and continuous process to address inequities in power and privilege and build a respectful and diverse community that ensures welcoming spaces and opportunities to flourish for all.” [5] In general, EDI in practice aims to eliminate barriers that people from different social, cultural, religious, or ethnic backgrounds face in their lives.

We urge our patrons to note that racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, and otherwise offensive or discriminatory images and language are present in the collection. Inclusion of these materials in the Asian Library holdings is not an endorsement of their contents. UBC Library rejects these offensive, discriminatory, and harmful viewpoints, while also understanding the importance of fostering access to our collections in a responsible and transparent way that preserves historical evidence of social conditions and attitudes.[6]

The exhibit will be on from now until August 31, 2024.
