Views from Chinatown

Description

Chinatowns are found all over the world, initially a space for Chinese immigrants to create a safe community to connect, while transitioning to a new culture. These spaces have evolved over time, becoming hubs for diversity and inclusion. Many documentaries and podcasts have focused on the rich history of these communities, but we are focussing on the unique voices that have been unheard in the overall Chinatown story.This podcast series features a new generation of voices that have greatly contributed to Calgary's Chinatown and cultural landscape. We will hear what it’s like growing up in Calgary’s Chinatown, how it has adapted to the pressures of modern society, and what the future holds for this constantly evolving community. These are our views from Chinatown.
