Description
Komagata Maru - Brochure -- [1989?]. Three panel accordian folded sheet brochure prepared for Vancouver Sath by Sadhu Binning and Sukhwant Hundal for the exhibition of "Komagata Maru: A Story in Picture. The exhibit was to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Komagata Maru.
The brochure is printed in Punjabi and English on pink paper with black ink. The brochure is double sided with a front cover in English and a front cover in Punjabi.
Object History
These items are ephemera collected by the donor during the active years of the Vancouver Sath organization. Most of the meetings and rehearsals were held in Burnaby, and most of the performances were held in Vancouver. The group was passionate about tackling difficult issues within the community and giving a space for these issues to be raised. The hope was the conversations would begin and go somewhere within families and the community. They covered issues of gender inequality, martial violence, wage discrepancy in work, union support, and racism.
Vancouver Sath recognized that theatre was a more effective medium to reaching their audience than paper newsletters and publications was at the time. They were connected to the Canadian Farmworkers Union (CFU), and other location organzations for support, and due to many shared members. Often the CFU would apply for grants, and fund the cost of venue rental, set and prop procurement, and offering a modest honourarium to actors.
