你心目中的華埠是什麼？

What’s your Chinatown?

Think!Chinatown, an intergenerational non-profit based in Manhattan’s Chinatown, works at the intersection of storytelling, arts & neighborhood engagement. It’s hard to categorize our work sometimes, but whatever we’re working on… it’s to support what we love about Chinatown!

[心目華埠] 是一家位於曼哈頓華埠的跨代非營利組織，致力於故事講述、藝術和社區參與的交集之处。社區參與研討會及建立資源庫。很多時候, 很難對我們的工作進行分類——但無論我們在做什麼,目標都是為了支持我們熱愛的唐人街!

Take a look at our projects

We believe…

the process of listening, reflecting, and celebrating develops the community cohesion and trust necessary to work on larger neighborhood issues. By building strength from within our neighborhood, we can shape better policies and programs that define our public spaces, celebrate our cultural heritage, and innovate how our collective memories are represented.

Winged Seeds

Think!Chinatown is excited to present Winged Seeds by New York-based artist Jia Sung, who brings together painting and collaborative textile. Composed of painted portraits framed by embroidered motifs of so-called “invasive” plants, the exhibition gathers diasporic memory, family archives, and ecological entanglements. Shaped in collaboration with Chinatown community members, workshop attendees gathered to stitch the frames for painted ancestral portraits and share family histories—interweaving personal memory with the legacy of displacement. — Exhibit info
