Everyday Chinatown: Objects and the Stories They Hold

Curated by Yin Kong and Aaron Reiss, this exhibition highlights everyday objects found in homes across Chinatown. Little things you might have seen hung up in your aunt’s kitchen, tucked away in a cabinet in your childhood, or a staple in your home today. While these items may seem mundane at first glance, they tie together collective identities and experiences. Chinatown is an embassy of sorts for these items. Not a place where these objects are from but a place where these objects pass through after arriving from elsewhere.  If you know these objects, you probably have a story about them. These objects are part of so many Chinatown homes, and the stories tied to them in turn tie us together — home to home.
