A Filipino childhood dessert favorite 🥥🥣 Ginataang bilo bilo is like a Filipino coconut soup with glutinous rice balls, sago, jackfruit (langka), and sometimes bananas 💛💜 A little creature poking out from the edge of the bowl

Artists’ Statement

In a few years, the San Francisco Chinatown we know may not exist anymore.

Even before the pandemic, Chinatown had many empty storefronts while hungry developers waited close by. Tenants were vulnerable to displacement due to lack of protection and economic instability. The pandemic also escalated the dehumanization of our AAPI communities through racist scrapgoating.

Our poster series highlights the stories of Chinatown’s mothers, workers and tenants. The comics foreground the themes of love, community, survival, and resistance.

Having our community members’ stories visible and centered through Market Street’s kiosks is a part of ensuring the Chinatown we call home will survive in post-pandemic San Francisco.

Chinatown: Love, Struggle, Resistance is part of the The Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series. This series is a project of the San Francisco Arts Commission and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

The Stories Behind the Comics

Most of the stories for this project are inspired by the oral history project “Our Intergenerational Stories 歲月心聲: 家 ” where mothers, women, tenants and workers are invited to tell their own stories. Listen and read the stories that inspired this poster series (forthcoming):

Poster 1 Freedom: Ah Lian’s story Poster 2 Climate March Poster 3 Waiting: Ah Lian’s story Poster 4 Two Americas: Ah Lian’s story Poster 5 Essential Worker: Huang Jie’s story Poster 6 Resistance

Our Intergenerational Stories 歲月心聲: 家 was curated and led by M. Min-Chong Lin and Vida Kuang in 2019 as part of an Intergenerational Oral Storytelling and Photography Workshop Series in partnership with the Chinese for Affirmative Action and their parent leaders.
