限华 / CHINESE ONLY CHINESE ONLY Television Bumpers is a series of six 10-seconds television bumpers. These short videos reference signs used during a time when local, white-only establishments blatantly refused and restricted Chinese people. The Chinese Only characters, however, can also be interpreted as “Chinese Exclusion” as the characters 限 and 华 were often used in Canada’s historical exclusion of Chinese people in public spaces from the 1800’s to the mid-20th Century.
