Alleyway on the Changing Chinatown Tour, June 02, 2024. Image by Rachna Shah.
Description
Tour participants and tour leader and emerging historian Jingshu Yao stand in an alleyway and discuss its history.
Discover the past and present along Spadina Avenue; from the historical lakeshore and Indigenous trade route to a diverse international neighbourhood; the advocacy by the Jewish and Chinatown community against discrimination so that they could not only survive but thrive in their new home; and the evolving definition of public space and art that grounds the community and its shops, homes, and businesses.
