Lulu Series: Migration Patterns from Chinatowns to Ethnoburbs
Richmond Cultural Centre, Theatre Under the Stairs
7700 Minoru Gate
Join Morris Lum in a discussion about his Chinatown | Tong Yan Gaai photographic series that documents Chinatowns across Canada and the United States. Over the last decade, Lumhas has focused and directed attention towards the functionality of Chinatowns, exploring the generational context of how “Chinese” identity is expressed in these structural enclaves. Armed with a large-format camera, the artist has documented Chinatowns in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Chicago, Oakland, Seattle, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manhattan and Boston. The talk will offer an overview of this body of work and will hint at the next phases of the series.
