The China Studies Centre, in collaboration with the local Chinese community and the Gadigal Centre, is supporting the Chinese Australian Youth Association in their project to uncover and celebrate the historical connections between the Chinese Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Chinese immigrants in Australia have a long history of interactions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples dating back to the mid-1800s, especially during the Gold Rush era. Chinese migration started in the 1850s, and Chinese communities spread across Australia. These interactions are seen in various aspects of life, including art, culture, stories, food, and innovation.
However, many Chinese Australians are unaware of this shared history. The University of Sydney China Studies Centre (CSC) aims to work with Australian and Chinese youth communities to raise awareness of these historical connections.
This report will showcase the experiences of young Australians from Chinese, Indigenous, and other backgrounds as they discover Aboriginal Australia. They will share their experiences through various mediums such as writing, podcasts, videos, TikTok clips, performances, storytelling, music, and cooking.
Contributions are welcome, including:
Join us in exploring and celebrating the shared history and culture between the Chinese Australian and Indigenous communities in Australia.
