Chinatown: Love, Struggle, Resistance

In Chinese and Tagalog/Filipino. View all six posters in Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog and English: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sfac/albums/72177720300544664

On display on San Francisco’s Market Street MUNI bus kiosks August - October 2022

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.

Anna May Wong would be so proud of the 11 nominations Everything Everywhere All at Once has received. 🥹👏🏼 In her AMW’s lifetime, she was named “The World's Best-Dressed Woman” by Mayfair Mannequin Society of New York—the award she’s holding in her hands in this photo. I could muse about the acting awards AMW could have been nominated for, which roles & movies, but no awards need to validate her acting prowess & skills—for she was an excellent & emotive actress. I watched EEAAO this past week. I laughed & cried at how relatable it was—still is. I’m sure AMW a would have loved the line about laundry & taxes! “So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.” Congrats @a24 @michelleyeoh_official @kehuyquan @stephaniehsuofficial @jamieleecurtis James Hong, you have a special place in my heart! ❤️ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #asianamericanactors #asianamericanactors✌️❤️🎭🖊 #asianamericanactorsinclassichollywood #asianamericanart #stephaniehsu #annamaywongstyle #silverscreen #classicactress #everythingeverywhereallatoncemovie #annamaywongactress #everythingeverywhereallatonce #jameshong #黄柳霜 #vintagestyle #annamaywongforever #goldenera #annamaywonginspired #oldhollywoodglamour #michelleyeoh #kehuyquan #annamaywong💎 #annamaywong✨ #classicmovies #everythingeverywheremovie #asianamericanactress #representationmatters #annamaywong #annamaywongrealness #annamaywongtribute #jamieleecurtis https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzkKv7O2Fp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
