CHINATOWNS
An exhibition at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC
Dec 11 2007 - Dec 22 2007
www.cff2008.org
There are more than 300 Chinatowns around the world today. Many others have disappeared, and new ones are being born each year. Storefront for Art and Architecture, in association with Chinatown Film Festival New York, takes you on a global tour of the Chinatowns around the world.
Despite the clichés associated with Chinatown phenomenon, they are defined by differences as much as their similarities. Some are rundown ghettos; others are modern sites of recent development. From large and well-know neighborhoods in San Francisco and London to obscure or recently-formed communities in cities like Dubai and Marrakech, Chinatowns is an accumulative photographic portrait of an urban phenomenon spanning across 140 cities and four continents.
Starting in New York City and moving east around the planet, the exhibition Chinatowns is a compendium of over 1000 images taken by almost as many photographers. It is a visual tribute to the diversities and idiosyncrasies, as much as the similarities, that unite these urban communities scattered all over the world.
