Vancouver 
Events Description
Join us for a presentation of Sophie Lui’s video, “”Chinatown Stories of Perseverance and Pride””, an exploration of some of the history that shaped the community – and a look at the future through the eyes of those who love the neighbourhood.
The future of Vancouver’s Chinatown has been the subject of a lot of debate in recent years, especially in the wake of the pandemic. But beyond the headlines, Chinatown is also a place where real people live, work and play and where history isn’t confined to a museum. Chinatown has been a refuge, and the community has consistently pushed back against racist policies and even outright violence.
Today, it faces drug use and homelessness, development and displacement – and the fear of being forgotten.
Join us for an honest conversation about the challenges Chinatown faces today and the future we can shape together.
A moderated conversation with Sophie Lui, Andy Yan, Doris Chow, and Henry Tsang to follow.
