Satellite Exhibition - Opens this Saturday!
Satellite exhibition at the Hon Hsing Building in Chinatown - 27 E Pender St
Friday - Sunday, 10am - 4pm
Located in the heart of Chinatown, on the first floor of the Hon Hsing Athletic Club, this first installment of A Seat at the Table offers a unique encounter with personal stories of Chinese Canadians. These snapshots from people’s lives show how Chinese migrants and their descendants have found ways to earn a living, challenge systemic racism, connect with others, survive and thrive through hope and resilience.

Visitors are invited to share their experiences as Chinese Canadians, or their interactions with Chinese Canadians in their community, or their experiences as migrants living in a new place. Visitors can choose to share their stories on camera, through in-person interviews, in writing or simply by placing a marker on a map. These narratives will contribute to the complex and continuing story of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia. As the exhibition travels throughout British Columbia, it will continue to gather and highlight stories from each location around the province. Admission is free. We recommend booking tickets online here.
