Engage with three different artists who explore issues related to Seattle's Chinatown:
Maria Gargiulo's East of Occidental (1986, 34 mins), Han Eckelberg's Mak Fai Insider (2022, 16 mins 29 sec), and Stewart Wong and the 1886 Chinese Expulsion Art Project.
Guests to this program are also welcome to visit Nobody Lives Here:The People in the Path of Progress, a new exhibit at the Wing Luke Museum, highlighting the displacement of the CID community in the 1960s. This exhibit, including illustrations and text by artist and historian Tess Hulls, focuses on the impact that the building of the I-5 freeway had on businesses, homes and people through research, photos and oral histories. (This exhibit is separate from the screenings and panel presentation. Guests may visit on their own, the day of this program.)
