Audio archive dedicated to collecting, sharing, and amplifying anonymous and unguided stories from the Asian Canadian diaspora.
Each story is inextricably linked to the next through a “pass-it-on” structure: contributors first answer a question asked by the previous person and at the end ask a question for the following person — creating a linear chain that weaves a rich anthology of lived histories and experiences.
The archive website prioritizes web accessibility and contributor agency. Each recording occupies its own “room”, where the contributor has been given the space to tell their story. The colour of these rooms has been chosen by each contributor. All audio files are transcribed; text size and visual contrast can be adjusted by visitors. The colours on the site are coded as HTML colour names alt-text, ensuring an inclusive experience for folks using screen readers. A guestbook invites visitors to share their personal thoughts and experiences.
The archive came to life through the here-there listening room at Whippersnapper Gallery, a gathering space for contemplation and conversation. It centers around nineteen unguided audio stories shared by Asian Canadians across Canada. The listening experience is supported by a typographic window installation and newspaper takeaways. A custom-made communal table features prominently in the space.
