This event is especially significant because it's taking place in Chinatown, where Pride was never really celebrated "out, loud, and proud". “I think the Chinese community in Canada, for a hundred years, legalized discrimination and were not treated as equals. And I think that generated a code of silence within the community, never to revolt against the mainstream,” Wong says. “When you've been a discriminated community and never felt welcome or safe, you don't want to be noticed and you don't want to be different.” Find more details about Pride in Chinatown: https://vancouverchinesegarden.com/experience/events/pride_in_chinatown_2019/ SUBSCRIBE to Daily Hive on YouTube: http://bit.ly/DailyHive-YT VISIT Daily Hive: http://DailyHive.com FOLLOW US on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dailyhivevideo

Another Feather In Her Bonnet represents the symbolic union of two artists who have come together to challenge ideas of cultural appropriation. Miss Chief Eagle Testickle , Kent Monkman’s shape-shifting, time-travelling, gender-fluid alter ego, and world renowned French couturier Jean Paul Gaultier exchanged vows of mutual respect and compassion. Monkman and Gaultier aim to re-contextualize and re-appropriate the faux headdress, playing on the figure of the sexualized and stereotyped Indigenous woman as perceived by the colonial gaze.
