SUMMARY:Making or Faking Chinatown? Representing People\, Place and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Illustration by John Lee \nOn view July 18–October 2024\, Think!Chinatown is proud to present Making or Faking Chinatown? Representing People\, Place and Culture\, a thought-provoking urban planning-focused exhibition exploring the unresolved debate of cultural representation in Chinatown’s built environment through extensive research\, photographs from Chinatowns across North America\, and artwork by artist John Lee. The exhibition is co-curated by T!C Director Yin Kong and architectural historian Kerri Culhane\, and designed with fwd | A+U\, Farzana Gandhi Design Studio\, and Pentagram as part of Van Alen Institute’s program Design Sprints. \nIn 2024\, the NYC Economic Development Corporation launched the Chinatown Connections project which includes the redesign of Kimlau Square and creation of a “Chinatown Welcome Gateway”. This city project has reignited the conversation about cultural representation. In Chinatowns around the world\, gateways\, known as paifang–along with lanterns\, dragons and the ubiquitous color red–present a generic notion of Chinese culture for public consumption. Are these stereotypes or symbols of Chinatown? This exhibition explores the range of placekeeping and placemaking strategies in Chinatowns\, from everyday life to the staged production of culture. \nGallery hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays\, 3-6PM Chinatown!Studio (1 Pike St).
