How do I summon a quorum of #ChineseDiaspora & #AmericanBornChinese & English speaking Chinese folks to ask about writing Chinese fiction, as a diasporic ethnic Chinese from multi-continent, multi-generational drift? LIKE how the fuck am I supposed to navigate writing Chinese names & stories? My—

Just back from my first AAS conference. So inspiring to see how Chinese diasporic experiences are being redefined across national contexts.

Follow these amazing researchers' work!

And of course, capped it off with a visit to the Chinese Canadian Museum 🤩 #AsianStudies #Vancouver #ChineseDiaspora

❓What does it mean to be Chinese in Europe today? Chu Yang's fourth entry in a CHOICE Long Reads series, explores how many #ChineseDiaspora communities reject the binary of being “Chinese” or “European” and instead build identities between cultures.

These hard-working Chinese migrants to Mali have pioneering spirit and a flair for running small businesses, reminding me of the many (Han) Chinese I've encountered in Tibet. Love them or hate them, they are unstoppable and will go wherever there is opportunity. #Chinesediaspora wapo.st/44z8K7h
Inside a thriving Chinatown neighborhood in the heart of West Africa
Chinese migrants have created a lively community in the Malian capital of Bamako, but the advance of Islamist militants has some questioning their future there.

I spent a few years agonizing over a voice recording I had of a great grand uncle talking about where he and my grandpa were born

After a few years I determine he was saying ‘Tan Village’

Which should have been obvious to me, but it was not

米 mǐ | uncooked rice is an #artinstallation based on representational disparities in the US arts industry.

The rice portrays unequal distribution. The bowls correlate with the size of different populations and are filled according to their representation in the arts.

米 mǐ | uncooked rice is a #printnaking installation based on representational disparities in the US arts industry. The layout of the installation resembles a takeout restaurant, alluding to my family's history of restaurant work as an economic steppingstone in the US—and my first art studio. 米 (mǐ) is the Chinese word for uncooked rice and other grains, a metaphor for that which could sustain us, but in its unprocessed form is indigestible. A drawing of a rice plant evolves into a pictograph before it becomes the modern Chinese character 米. Prints fade and language changes as we move farther from the source. Wood shavings form the English words, uncooked rice, the residue leftover from the carving and printing process. A woodblock creates the print on canvas and the refuse on the floor, and is itself destroyed in its original purpose as a printing tool when transformed into a functional table. A laminated placemat / menu displays US population percentages side-by-side with representation in US museums, galleries, and private art collections. Bowls on the table are either overflowing or under-filled, based on each population’s representation in the arts. For instance, while white men are 31% of the US (as represented by a 31 ounce bowl), their bowl overflows with 77% of the rice served on the table. Meanwhile, women of color collectively are less than half of one percent of US arts representation; their bowls contain only a couple grains of rice each.

Close-up of bowls on one of the tables. The table is built from a hand-carved woodcut previously used to make the woodblock prints. The bowls are either overflowing or severely under filled, based on how they correlate with the size of each demographic population in the US and their respective representation in US museums, galleries, and art collections. #printmaking #woodcut #decolonizethearts #chinesediaspora Close-up of a 40" x 40" woodblock print on muslin canvas. The print has a solid black background and the image depicts a rice plant. The rice plant image hints at the original pictograph that became the Chinese radical 米 for rice. #woodcut #printmaking

JEENSONMUEANG MIKU| UPPER NORTHERN THAI DIASPORIC CHINESE

#Hatsunemiku #miku #vocaloid #Thaichinese #Thai #Chinese #Southeastasian #Eastasian #Jeensonmueang #Art #Artistsonbluesky #illustration #illustratorsonbluesky #art #fanart #selfindulgent #hyperspecific #chinesediaspora #diasporicchinese
We have Miku in Thai + Chinese flags face paints and a historical Teochew high updo adorned with a golden Chiang saen style hair pin. On her left hand clings an imperial jade bangle, the type of bangle that is the most valued upon and on her fingers except the thumbs are the nail guards for the dance. As you can see, she is doing a ฟ้อนเล็บ, a traditional Lanna dance that is slow, spiritual, rhythmic and undeniably elegant. She is wearing a dark grey with reflective dark cyan accents Ming dynasty Ao or “shirt” with large Pipa sleeves glimmering with neon panels and the glowy “O1” and “囍” writings. The Ao is covered by Qing dynasty inspired Majia or “vest” with a hand drawn scene of a “Red head junk” or a type of boat we Teochews call "Ang Thau Tsung”. The red head junks are the most renowned type of boat coming to oral stories and documented evidences on the ways us Gaginangs came to Thailand. In the back you can see the mountains, this is a tribute to Yunnan Chineses, the majority Chinese group of Northern Thai Chinese descents as Yunnan people came here not by boat but rather mountainous natural paths. In the picture you can see that the vest has those pretty cyan pipings surrounding the hand drawn scene. Over the majia is a cutesy pink gu chai gue ("Teochew garlic chives cakes") Yunjian (“cloud collar”). Below the majia lies the dark grey and cyan zin teen jok (ซิ่นตีนจก) hugging the figure. And lastly, it's a humble detail that she is barefoot while she ฟ้อน as it is customary to do. อะไรคือจีนซอนเมือง จีนซอนเมือง หรือที่บางคนเรียกว่า “เจ๊กซอนเมือง" (ไม่ควรใช้คำว่าเจ๊ก เนื่องจากเป็นคำเหยียดเชื้อชาติ) คือ อัตลักษณ์การผสมผสานวัฒนธรรม ล้านนาหรือวัฒนธรรมเมืองของภาค เหนือตอนบนเข้ากับวัฒนธรรมชาวจีน โพ้นทะเล เช่นวัฒนธรรมจีนยูนนาน, จีนแต้จิ๋ว หรือ จีนฮากกา คำว่าจีน ซ่อนเมือง ยังสื่อได้ถึงผู้เป็นลูกครึ่งข่าว ไทท้องถิ่นกับชาวจีนโพ้นทะเล หรือ ชาวไทยเชื้อสายจีนผู้เติบโตมาใน วัฒนธรรมล้านนา What is จีนซอนเมือง จีนซอนเมือง (Jeensonmueang) OR "เจ๊กซอนเมือง“ (Jeksonmueang -*CONTAINS A DEROGATORY SLUR, DON'T USE) refers to the mixture of Thai Lanna or local mueang culture of Upper Northern Thailand with Diasporic Chinese cultures such as Yunnan Chinese,Teochew Chinese and Hakka Chinese. The term จีนซอนเมือง can also means the Tai-Diasporic Chinese Lukkreung/Mixed identity or the identity of Chinese descent Thais who grew up in Lanna culture. This panel contains a collage of memorable Jeensonmueang places from Nina’s memories with a type of poetry in Thai called กลอนแปด ตัวข้าเป็นจีนซอนเมืองเรืองรุ่ง อยู่ในกรุงล้านนาได้ค้าขาย ปากสลับภาษาอย่างง่ายดาย ขอเป็นควายไม่ลืมตีนจีนของตน อันแต่ก่อนที่เขาเรียกว่าเจ๊ก คืออาเจ็กคนจนผู้ขัดสน หอบมาเสื่อผืนหมอนใบให้ตน หวังสู้ทนชะตาไม่ปราณี ล้วนหวังบุตรหลุดพ้นความลำบาก ไม่ต้องตากแดดร้อนรนตอนเที่ยง สุขสบายร่ำเรียนในวังเวียง ปลอดจากเสียงเยาะเยี่ยงคำนินทา ทุกวันข้าจึงเฝ้าพร่ำบอกตน บรรพชนข้าลำบากยากมา ขอมากราบลงที่บาทบาทา กลอนนี้หนาเป็นของขวัญนั่นเอง

Own your city.
As a Frankfurt chapter lead — one coffee a month. One message to activate the group. That's it.
The magic isn't the event. It's the quality of the people in the room.
Could you be the one who brings them together?

Ambassadors. Chapter leads. A global council of C-suite door-openers.
The structure is there. Some seats are already filled.
But this doesn't grow without the right people stepping up.
Could that be you?

Need $200K? That's 10 OC members at $20K each.
The capital is already in the room. The trust is already there. The due diligence still happens — but you're not starting cold.
That's the difference.

The goal isn't a community. It's a signal.

OC meetups. Local chapters. Member directory. Podcast. A full ecosystem — being built piece by piece.

Until one day someone says "you're OC?" and that's all they need to know.
