Vancouver’s Chinatown is a vibrant cultural hub and these two locally published titles capture both its striking visual ambience which draws countless photographers and visitors to its streets and the rich and diverse histories contained within. Donna Seto’s gorgeous illustrations of the neighbourhood’s historical buildings are collected in Chinatown Vancouver alongside interviews with community members and information about these cultural sites. Carol Lee founder of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation joins us with Vitality pairing stunning photographs of Chinatown in the ‘50s ’60s and ’70s with interviews and historical insights gathered by the Chinatown Storytelling Centre. This event will be a feast for the eyes while celebrating the resilience and contributions of Chinatown’s communities. Moderated by Anna Ling Kaye.  


Presented in partnership with Chinatown Storytelling Centre.
