#vancouverchinatown — Public Fediverse posts

Lo Wah Kiu (Workshop) / 老華僑劇場（系列工作坊).

Join for a participatory #theatre #workshop inspired by the work of #DowntownEastside #documentarian and organiser Sid Chow Tan! From organizing with the #Chinese #HeadTax and #ExclusionRedress movement to documenting countless actions against #gentrification and #displacement - Sid’s #art of #activism captured a spirit of class-consciousness, humour, and #solidarity. His vast archive depicts four decades of the struggles, victories, celebrations, and everyday lives of #DTES and #Chinatown communities and organisers. In these introductory workshops, participants will be introduced to theatre techniques that will connect themes from the Sid Tan archives to our lives and neighbourhood issues today.

Please note, these workshops are 3 hours long.

Free admission and no theatre experience necessary! Pre-registration required. Refreshments will be served. #Cantonese and #Mandarin interpretation will be provided. These workshops are presented with gratitude and in solidarity with the many friends, organisers, community television volunteers and staff who made possible the production, broadcast, and archive of Sid’s videos.

Saturday, November 8th, 4pm-7pm.
401 Main Street, #VancouverBC.

Vancouver is consistently ranked as one of the best cities to live in. Multiculturalism and inclusivity are some of the most defining features of the city. Yet recently there has been a strong push for rejuvenating the historic neighbourhoods of the city. One of the most visible neighbourhoods to undergo such rejuvenation is Chinatown. It was initially developed along Carrall and Pender Street by the Chinese labourers who first settled in the 1880’s. Once a site of small businesses owned by Chinese families, Chinatown was considered to be one of the poorest areas of Vancouver for many years.

However now Chinatown is being developed into an up-and-coming neighbourhood of the city. Newly opened fashion stores, trendy cafes and rising condos are a visible sign of Chinatown's gentrification. Gentrification is often associated with urban development that provides high-quality housing, increased employment and business opportunities. But besides these positive outcomes, gentrification also brings significant increases in rent and the unequal distribution of developmental benefits to the middle class. This often leads to the displacement of lower-income classes from areas of traditional residence.

This short video-documentary was created in hopes to represent a diversity of voices of Chinatown.
