Untold Asian Stories

Untold Asian Stories Giving Asian voices a platform in Flanders to connect with their roots, fellow Asians and share it with the world. Hey daar!

Super fijn dat jullie onze pagina gevonden hebben! Wij zijn Ann, Emily en Lotus, drie vrouwen met Chinese roots die elkaar gevonden hebben in de gemeenschappelijke nood aan herkenning en representatie van onze Aziatische cultuur. Dit vooral in het Vlaamse landschap, waarin we op zoek zijn naar de (tot nog toe onzichtbare) Aziatische gemeenschap om onze wortels te ontdekken en te delen. Kortom: we

vonden het tijd om hier samen iets aan te doen en een community op te starten waarin dit hopelijk allemaal mogelijk is!

"What would it feel like to become humus together? To take the parts of ourselves that feel scattered, uprooted, or far from home, and slowly, communally, turn them into something rich and alive?" -Ploy Thongchamnan

Ploy Thongchamnan (they/them), a product designer specializing in bio-art is warmly inviting us to participate in their project, Become Humus. This project weaves together participatory art, the Asian community, and sustainability.

Please swipe to find the details about the three workshops. It is not mandatory to attend all three workshops to be part of the project. If you feel drawn and interested to take part as workshop participant, photographer, or helping hand behind the scenes, please send your name, email address, and pronouns to UAS or [email protected].

SAVE THE DATE: UAS BOOKCLUB KICKOFF AND CREATIVE WORKSHOP
(registration form will follow soon)

Following our previous bookclub editions, we wanted to continue fostering these moments of tender reflection.

Join us on July 25 in Ghent for a warm and creative gathering.

This time, we will explore “Dust Child” from Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai .
“Đời gió bụi, De geheimen van de bodhiboom, Là où fleurissent les cendres”

When Trang, a young Vietnamese woman, falls in love with an American pilot Dan, secrets unfold that will echo across decades. Their son Phong grows up as a "dust child", an Amerasian child caught between cultures, searching for recognition and belonging.

Together, we will reflect on themes of searching for identity, war’s legacy, adoption, intergenerational trauma, racism, forgiveness, and the search for connection across borders.

This bookclub is open for people with Asian heritage from across the continent.

Yesterday was a historic moment. The psychologist of the year award went to .ama.kissi, who won the prize with her book ‘White care, black suffering: why mental health fails for people of color’. As individuals with a migration background, she explains in the book why a therapeutic space never can be neutral. Thank you and also the other guest speakers for the enlightening evening. 🫶

We never imagined we would be organising an intro to k!nk workshop… but here we are…

Over the past months, several of you reached out with curiosity, questions, and a desire to explore this space — and we love that. So we’re creating a warm, welcoming, Asians-only space where curiosity is enough. No experience needed, no expectations — just an invitation to explore, learn, and connect at our own pace.

What to expect:
Sensation play is a workshop to explore our senses. During various exercise sessions, participants will experience a sensory journey in small groups by playing with materials, sounds, intensities,...

It is also a space to practice and train consent. During all exercises, nothing is mandatory. You’ll be invited to verbalize your boundaries all along as well as your desires, to listen to those of others, and to adjust accordingly.

The goal of this workshop is to experiment with (self)erot!c energy, connection to the body, and its sensations. This space is dedicated to pleasure, to giving and receiving.

About the facilitator:
Rob (he/him) is the founder of Beautiful Things, a s3x-positive shop dedicated to exploring sexuality through education, practice, and dialogue. His work focuses on building a more inclusive, ethical, and ecological approach to intimacy.

Through workshops that blend theory and hands-on exploration, he centers consent as the foundation of every interaction. With his deep, grounding voice, he helps create a safer space where people can grow, learn, and expand their capacity for intimacy and connection.

We know stepping into something new can feel vulnerable — especially in spaces where we haven’t always felt represented or safe. That’s why we’re holding this with care, softness, and respect for everyone’s pace.

Come as you are. Curiosity is enough.

What does Untold Asian Stories do?

We strive for a society where the experiences of people with Asian backgrounds are recognized, visible, and valued. A society where nuance, depth, and connection have space to grow—and where diversity is understood as something natural, not exceptional.

At Untold Asian Stories, we believe every story matters. We create space for these stories to be shared, heard, and held. Through conversation and community, we bring people together and build meaningful connection.

We warmly welcome anyone with Asian roots who feels connected to our mission. By Asian roots, we mean heritage from anywhere across the Asian continent.

This includes people who:
• were born in Asia and migrated to Belgium
• have one or more (grand)parents from Asia
• are adopted from an Asian country
• or identify with Asian heritage in any way
