REIMAGINING CHINATOWN IN 2050
is an anthology of speculative fiction stories from Toronto's Chinatown(s). Facilitated through a series of writing workshops presented in partnership with Myseum of Toronto in 2020, each story reimagines what Chinatown could be like in 2050 revealing as much about our present as our future(s).
COMING SOON IN 2022
CHINATOWN 2050 VR COMPANION
Coming in 2022, a virtual reality (VR) companion will accompany each story. In the meanwhile, explore the VR trailer below of select stories.
Your Future Heritage(s) of Chinatown east
is a multi-player board game that invites viewers to reimagine the future heritage of Chinatown through co-constitution, negotiation, and dialogue. It is presented as part of Myseum Intersections Festival 2021 (Toronto) and the Whose Chinatown Exhibition at Griffin Art Projects (Vancouver).
