Join T!C’s Storytelling Lead, Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan, for an interactive evening of stories about our personal landmarks here in Chinatown. We’ll hear some of our neighbors’ favorite memories for T!C’s Landmarks project – then get ready to revisit some of your personal Chinatown landmarks with a storytelling workshop. 

In this storytelling workshop, Rochelle will get us thinking about the stories all around us, and how we can start to document these special memories of our neighborhood. Participants are also welcome to bring their own memory items (photos, flyers, voice memos, music) to share during our storytelling workshop.

Landmarks is an ongoing audio exploration of memory and place, produced by T!C’s Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan, to visit and remember our own personal landmarks in Chinatown. 

Free with RSVP. All ages welcome!

*Please note: This listening session and workshop will be conducted in English.
