Past Programs
chinatown looks
"Chinatown Looks: an intergenerational disposable camera project" was a photography project and workshop series showcasing the work of 21 Chinese senior and youth members of Yarrow. Led by Strathcona-based photographer and filmmaker Soloman Chiniquay, participating artists attended photography workshops in August 2022 and their work was exhibited at Massy Arts Society in Vancouver's Chinatown from January 17 to March 16, 2023.
Speak my language
A storytelling media arts project for youth and Chinese seniors to share experiences of language and cultural barriers in accessing healthcare, explore individual and collective healing, and envision a culturally accessible healthcare system. With the support and mentorship of lead artist Rachel Lau, the radio docs were launched at a community event in March 2020.
Chinatown Choose to move
Funded and supported by United Way of the Lower Mainland and UBC Hip and Health Centre, we provide coaching and opportunities for seniors with mobility challenges to exercise and improve their physical health. Seniors will participate in motivational meetings with their peers and have one-on-one meetings with an Activity Coach to track their progress. This program took place from 2018-2020.
