This roundtable will start with a series of short talks on how Chinatown as a site, subject and notion has influenced and been explored and manifested in the presenters’ practices. The session will open up for discussion the politics and dynamics surrounding Toronto’s Chinatowns through the lens of artistic gesture, especially with a critical look at the recently accelerated gentrification within.
