Exhibit will be on display on Saturdays and Sundays in May 2023, between 11:00am to 3:00pm.*

ABOUT
While the lions danced during the Lunar New Year, a group of photographers recorded the festivities and everyday community life for a project they are calling “Chinatown International District: Through the Eyes of a Tiger.
The title refers to 2022 being the Year of the Tiger in Chinese culture.
“Through the Eyes of a Tiger,” is the name of a project created by ten artists, nine of whom are photographers.
Each brings a different perspective, and each is recording the living history of the neighborhood as they see it, with their own individual photographic style and interest. The project comes at a difficult period for the historic Asian neighborhood.
