This case study traces the initial investigations in developing a culturally responsive intervention in museum education and curation entitled Elusive Desires. I explore the ways in which curatorial and pedagogical work in an art museum may disrupt traditionally held notions of "Canadian art," the archive, and belonging. Embracing an intersectional approach, I take on a queer feminist Asian diasporic lens to thinking through all aspects of the curatorial intervention, from the participating artists and the educational outreach to the community and school groups. I argue that taking on such a lens enacts curating and museum education as a social intervention that counteracts anti-Asian racism, toxic heterosexual masculinity, and settler-colonial logics that are frighteningly prevalent today.
