Chinatowns
Chinatowns around the world stand as enduring symbols of Chinese immigrant culture. Shaped by diverse geographies, histories, cultures, and politics, each Chinatown evolves uniquely, yet they are all connected by a shared, zigzagging path—the journey of being a Chinese immigrant. This path weaves these Chinatowns into a unified narrative, creating a distinctive space for marginal cultures within the framework of globalization. It traces a long, intricate footprint of migration and adaptation. These three panoramic photographs, reminiscent of traditional Chinese landscape scroll paintings, capture the unique essence of Chinatowns across Asia, North America, and Europe, offering a visual tribute to their collective story.
