Chinatowns: Reclaiming places through art

FREE ENTRANCE — First come, first served

As part of the Let’s confront racism together program by Festival Accès Asie.

Artists engaging with Chinatowns in Montreal and Quebec City through their creative practice highlight the role of stories in reclaiming places or a sense of place.

Participants in this round table will discuss the ways in which they act as conduits or vectors for transmission of the stories and narratives of Chinatown through their art: Karen Cho through the film Big Fight in Little Chinatown, Léa Tremblay-Fong through the choreographic and social project Sit, Eat and Chew 五味杂陈, Maka and Komodo through their community builders’ perspective and finally, Geneviève Duong through the short film Rue de Xi’an which testifies to the disappearance of Quebec City’s Chinatown and which will be presented as an exclusive preview.
