Contested Histories of Chinatown Panel Discussion
Asian Arts Initiative, 1315 Cherry Street, 2nd Floor
Wednesday, December 7, 7pm
preceded by Chinatown In/flux walking tour at 5:30pm
FREE
Chinatowns throughout the United States have struggled to institute and maintain legitimacy as a neighborhood – culturally and geographically. To deepen the understanding of many issues raised and explored by Chinatown In/flux, people who have experienced Chinatowns throughout the United States will come together to examine Chinatown as a place and as an idea. The panel will include Chinatown In/flux artist and L.A. Chinatown resident Steve Wong, Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation founder Cecilia Moy Yep, New York Chinatown scholar Jack Tchen, and Director of Philadelphia’s Chinese Christian Church and Center Harry Leong. The panel will be moderated by Lena Sze, editor of the Asian Arts Initiative’s oral history book, Chinatown Live(s).
