SUMMARY:Sophie Lui: Chinatown Stories of Perseverance and Pride
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. \nThe 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. \nToday\, it faces drug use and homelessness\, development and displacement – and the fear of being forgotten. \nJoin us for an honest conversation about the challenges Chinatown faces today and the future we can shape together. \nA moderated conversation with Sophie Lui\, Andy Yan\, Doris Chow\, and Henry Tsang to follow. \n\n\n	Related
