Soft Gong

Mission

We are artists and researchers who share a common identity: being adopted from China to Quebec (Canada). Through this collective, we wish to build a socio-cultural bridge between our adopted land, Quebec, and our country of origin, China.

Since 1990, we have had 7,000 Chinese adoptees in Quebec and more than 110,000 scattered across 14 Western countries, which is why we decided to come together to meet the needs of this community.

  • Our goals

    1) Amplify the voices of Adoptees

    2) Provide a space for critical, inclusive and safe reflection (race, ethnicity, class, gender, bodily, mental differences, sexual and spiritual orientations, etc.)

    3) Put forward the necessary resources to allow Adoptees to reconnect with their origins

    4) Building a community for Adoptees and their allies

    5) Nurture a feeling of kindness towards our multiple identities

  • Our organization has Co-founders active members (Dédé Chen, Tong Zhou Lafrance, Marie Gong Li Blouin, Marilie Ross, Jiang Mi, Peiyu, Fanny Lord-Bourcier, Jasmine Taillefer, Léonie Larocque, Adrianna Trottier) and allies(Mentors: kimura byol lemoine and Andrée Ho, Web designer: Yang Guo). We are all volunteers.
