SUMMARY:Launch: Placemaking & Placekeeping in Montreal's Chinatown: Perception\, Storytelling and Community Organizing
DESCRIPTION:For over a century\, diasporic communities in Chinatown have fought the tides of erasure by building a constellation of rafts in all manner of forms: Clan Associations\, dance troupes\, shelters\, Cantonese opera performances\, language schools\, seniors’ homes\, temples\, restaurants\, and more. This exhibition builds upon the inaugural year of the JIA Foundation’s community advocacy\, festivals\, art\, and storytelling\, done alongside the Chinatown Reimagined Forum’s three days of sharing and mobilization. This year’s lecture and exhibition series aims to build bridges between grassroots organizations and academic communities\, creating a platform for discussion on the evolving movements and future possibilities for Chinatown. \n\n\n\nLaunch event: January 16th at 5pm.

SUMMARY:Unveiling Chinese Presence and History in Québec City’s Lost Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:Starting in the late 19th century\, Chinatowns developed in many Canadian cities. Yet today\, many have disappeared with little record of their existence. Québec City was once home to one such Chinatown\, now largely forgotten. Emerging in the 1930’s as a small concentrated street of Chinese residents\, the Chinatown grew by the 1960’s into a vibrant network of restaurants\, businesses\, and institutions spanning the city. However\, by the 1970’s\, urban renewal projects and changing policies pushed Chinese families and businesses out\, dispersing them into the suburbs and other Canadian cities. Today\, few physical elements remain of the Chinatown\, and little is documented about its history. Québec City’s Chinatown is lost\, both physically and within the collective memory of the city. Interviews with former residents and archival research will reveal its vibrant community history and stories. \n\n\n\nMadeleine Wong is a recent graduate of the Master of Architecture program at the University of Waterloo. Her research focuses on Canadian Chinatowns and Chinese restaurants\, examining their role in creating spaces of community and belonging within the city.

SUMMARY:Building\, Reshaping\, Remodeling\, 13 Years of Chinatown a Photographic Series
DESCRIPTION:Morris Lum is a Trinidadian born photographer/artist whose work explores the hybrid nature of the Chinese-Canadian community through photography\, form and documentary practices. His work also examines the ways in which Chinese history is represented in the media and archival material. Morris’ work has been exhibited and screened across Canada\, the United States. \n\n\n\nMorris is currently working on a cross North America project that looks specifically at the transformation of Chinatowns. \n\n\n\nJoin Morris Lum in discussion about his Chinatown | Tong Yan Gaai photographic series that documents Chinatowns across Canada and the United States. Over the last decade Morris has focused and directed attention towards the functionality of the Chinatown and to explore the generational context of how “Chinese” identity is expressed in these structural enclaves. Armed with a large format camera\, Morris has documented Chinatowns in Victoria\, Vancouver\, Calgary\, Edmonton\, Winnipeg\, Toronto\, Ottawa\, Montreal\, Chicago\, Oakland\, Seattle\, Philadelphia\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, Manhattan\, New York and Boston. The talk will overview the progression of the body of work and will hint at the next phases of the series. \n\n\n\nThis conference is part six of six of our partnership with the University of Montreal’s Centre d’études asiatiques. Already our last one! \n\n\n\nThis conference is followed by a Taiwanese tea tasting with tea sommelier Lamia El Kalai. \n\n\n\nSwing by February 28th 2025\, from 17h to 19h\, @ Salle C-3061 (3rd Floor)\, Pavillon Lionel-Groulx\, 3150 rue Jean-Brillant. \n\n\n\nNo registration required!
