*DATES*: Oct 19, 2024 – Jan 25, 2025
*OPENING CELEBRATIONS*: Nov 2, 2024, 1-3pm

The *Haq and History* exhibition, originally developed by the *South Asian
Studies Institute (SASI)* and the *Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) *in
2020 offers visitors the chance to reflect upon stories from and about
South Asian Canadian Immigrants, including details about work, home life,
and keeping cultural traditions alive in BC. It has been traveling across
the province, and will be on display at the Nikkei National Museum &
Cultural Centre (NNMCC) from October 19, 2024 to January 25, 2025.

As part of the traveling exhibit opportunity, SASI invited all receiving
institutions to apply for research assistance to help unearth connections
of our local history and South Asian Canadians, to offer visitors a chance
to learn not only about the lives of South Asian Canadians in our area, but
also to add to the content of the core exhibit to help deepen our
collective knowledge exponentially.

Tiffany Lau, from SFU’s Academy to Community program researched the
intersection of South Asian and Japanese Canadian communities for Japanese
Canadian content in this exhibit which centers around Paldi (on Vancouver
Island) and the Toyota, Urabe, and Yano families.

We are honoured to host Haq and History and grateful for the support from
SASI and RBCM.
