Community curator Catherine Clement will explore how stories of migration have been rediscovered and brought back to life through objects found, yet forgotten, in our homes. Through her decade-long, ground-breaking work collecting the hidden photographs of Vancouver Chinatown’s first and most prolific photographer, Yucho Chow – to her current project locating surviving C.I. documents used to monitor, control and intimidate early Chinese in Canada – Catherine will show how each piece helps reveal a rich story.

The event will feature remarks from The Honourable Dr. Vivienne Poy and will be MC'ed by CBC's Gloria Macarenko.

The live-streamed event will take place on Youtube at 5:15pm (PDT) on May 1st, 2021.
