Message from the curator S F Ho:
It’s been so heartening to see community continue to come together against Beedie’s awful development proposal at 105 Keefer. Sharing art, language, food, and heritage at the Chinatown Memorial Plaza strengthens our living cultures that will not be erased by gentrification, greedy developers or a poor-bashing city council.
