2017 Chinatown History Window, 50 E[ast] Pender

Curator's original description reads: “Graphic of the Chinatown History Window dedicate[d] to Yucho Chow and [h]is studio. The graphic was installed at 50 East Pender Street (the front of the Chinese Cultural Centre). It was one of 22 history murals that adorned storefront windows in Chinatown in 2017. The project was funded by the City of Vancouver in recognition of Canada's 150 birthday. The project was curated by Catherine Clement. And a Vancouver Sun story on the window led to the discovery of a number of new Yucho Chow photos held in private collections.”
