What will we remember during this time?

Quarantine Qapsule (QQ) is a digital archive of the Asian Canadian experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a “time capsule” of the quarantine period, we are looking for creative contributions from all members of our community. We want to hear your stories of resilience, hope, and self-discovery!

Persons self-identifying as Asian Canadian (and living in Ontario) are invited to submit video, musical or visual art to the QQ. No fancy equipment required, art can be created anywhere in any style, creativity cannot be stifled!

DEADLINE: Oct 23, 2020

Selected pieces will be featured on the Myseum website and artists will receive a honorarium.

Artists retain all rights to submitted pieces, but grant Myseum permission to present them in the QQ.
