About
Overview
CICA Vancouver presents Reverse Chinatown in collaboration with DeCA (Dawn Eleven Contemporary Art Foundation), a group exhibition bringing together artists from Vancouver and New York to reconsider what Chinatown has meant historically and what it might become. Rather than presenting Chinatown as a fixed enclave or nostalgic symbol, the exhibition approaches it as a process, continually reshaped by movement, encounter, and reinterpretation. Through painting, installation, olfactory experience, and collaborative practices, the artists reflect on translation, belonging, visibility, and the gap between how a place is imagined and how it is lived.
