Jabbar family videos : America/Canada Visit Sep 89 Family Video : part 4 of 4

Description
-
Project and donor contributed description follows: "Sometime between 1987 and 1988, its summertime and the Jabbar family welcomes uncles and aunts and cousins over for a visit to Canada, staying at their apartment in Scarborough ON. Family was always welcome at the Jabbar household and they are happy and willing to stay for weeks at a time despite the small space. As their first visit to Canada, they take them to tourist sites. Pictured here are views of rides at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). S’s father, who is the eldest sibling of their generation, attracted a lot of family to visit because it is customary for people to always visit the eldest. Since S's father was the first of his siblings to come to Canada, everyone was excited to visit. It was also quite an accomplishment for a man with a physical disability to seek an independent life overseas for himself and his family so this was often admired. The footage shows how multigenerational the gatherings are, which included S's grandmother who had recently came to live with the family."

Javeed family videos : I & A (ages 7 & 3) Feb 2003 video letter for India Grandma : part 1 of 3
-
Description
-
Project and donor contributed description follows: "In the Javeed family’s apartment in Scarborough ON, two boys aged between 3 and 7 create a video letter to their grandmother who resides overseas in India. Both boys are born and live in Canada. The children are reciting; reciting a shopping list, nursery rhymes like “itsy bitsy spider,” and their ABCs. The video letter of the boys learning to write and spell is a way to build and maintain a relationship with their grandmother from afar. The video documents shifts in communication technologies, at a time prior to the use of communication apps like whatsapp, used to keep in touch with family. Scarborough was quite diverse by the early 2000s, and the boys generally felt connected to their peers, although their mother remembers they had experienced racism and some issues at school. She attests that they grew up differently than she did as a first generation immigrant, wherein she felt like an outsider in Toronto in the early eighties. The family had a lot of discussions as they were growing up about these issues, and ensured the boys were familiar with current affairs.”

Description

Project and donor contributed description follows: "In the Javeed family’s apartment in Scarborough ON, two boys aged between 3 and 7 create a video letter to their grandmother who resides overseas in India. Both boys are born and live in Canada. Muslim by faith, the children practice memorizing the Quran in Arabic. Their parents teach them to recite one line at a time to ensure that they learn at a young age. They know that seeing this would bring their grandmother joy and make her proud. The video letter is a way to connect with her through these recitations of a shared faith as she doesn’t speak English. The video documents shifts in communication technologies, at a time prior to the use of communication apps like whatsapp, used to keep in touch with family. Scarborough was quite diverse by the early 2000s, and the boys generally felt connected to their peers, although their mother remembers they had experienced racism and some issues at school.

Project and donor contributed description follows: "In the Javeed family’s apartment in Scarborough ON, two boys aged between 3 and 7 create a video letter to their grandmother who resides overseas in India. Both boys are born and live in Canada. The children are practicing Urdu by reciting what they know: a well-known Indian nursery rhyme about a thirsty crow, and a biryani song that the family made-up because the boys found it amusing. The video letter of the boys practicing Urdu is a way to build and maintain a relationship with their grandmother who doesn’t speak English. The video documents shifts in communication technologies, at a time prior to the use of communication apps like whatsapp, used to keep in touch with family.

Baksh family videos : Road trip
-
Description
-
Project and donor(s) contributed description follows: "In 2008, Shenaz sets up her Super 8 camera to test it out on the trip from Scarborough to North York and back again. The footage moves at double time, in a time lapse, due to the short filming capacity of Super 8 cameras. Her aunt accompanies her on the first leg of the trip, her expression almost static in the bright winter sunshine. As her aunt exits the car at her destination, Shenaz sets up the camera on the dashboard to face her for a moment, slipping on her sunglasses. The camera is later refocused on her father in the passenger seat, as she drives him to his chemotherapy session. For the last portion of the road trip, Shenaz turns the camera onto the road itself, finally parking in front of her home where she began."

Jabbar family videos : America/Canada Visit Sep 89 Family Video : part 2 of 4

Description
-
Video recording consists of footage a a family travelling to the Metropolitan Toronto Zoological Society. Project and donor contributed description follows: "Sometime between 1987 and 1988, its summertime and the Jabbar family welcomes uncles and aunts and cousins over for a visit to Canada, staying at their apartment in Scarborough ON. Family was always welcome at the Jabbar household and they are happy and willing to stay for weeks at a time despite the small space. In this clip, it’s the family’s first visit to Canada so the Jabbars take them to tourist sites. Seen here, the family is entering their vehicle on their way to a day excursion. S’s father is getting into a large vehicle from the late eighties. The car accommodates hand-breaks, since her father could not use his legs due to his disability. Since S's father was the first of his siblings to come to Canada, everyone was excited to visit. It was also quite an accomplishment for a man with a physical disability to seek an independent life overseas for himself and his family so this was often admired. The footage shows how multigenerational the gatherings are, which included S's grandmother who recently came to live with the family."
