Living Hyphen is an intimate Canadian journal that explores the experiences of hyphenated Canadians. From the third generation Haitian woman in Montreal having brunch with her girlfriends to the Ugandan refugee boarding his first TTC streetcar, from the Filipino boy in Calgary practicing basketball to the Polish grandmother navigating a Loblaws' superstore, our emerging and established writers and artists reveal the rich inner lives of Canada’s diverse communities.

Through short stories, photography, poetry, and illustrations, we uncover what it means to be a part of a diaspora. We examine life in between cultures, as individuals who call Canada home but with roots in different, often faraway places. Our stories are beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting, contradictory, and constantly unfolding.

Living Hyphen’s aim is to redefine the mainstream and to turn up the volume on voices that often go unheard.
