SUMMARY:If These Walls Could Talk: Exploring Chinatown's Stories 舊牆留聲
DESCRIPTION:As we walk through Victoria’s Chinatown\, we see only what exists today. However\, these buildings have stood for decades and each holds multiple stories within its walls. The architecture tells us about the origins of the owners and their aspirations in Victoria\, while the businesses that operated in these spaces have been vital to the region’s economic and social development. \nBeyond the architecture and commercial history\, the personal narratives of families provide a window into the daily lives of those who once lived in these buildings—offering a glimpse into the past and weaving together the rich tapestry of Chinatown’s legacy. \n“This exhibit not only celebrates the history of Chinatown\, but also highlights the dedication and collaborative spirit of our community\,” says VCMS Board Chair Dr. Grace Wong Sneddon. “We are grateful for the contributions of community members who made this exhibit possible by generously sharing their family stories. We invite everyone to join us in exploring the many layers of Chinatown’s legacy.” \n“If These Walls Could Talk: Exploring Chinatown’s Stories 舊牆留聲” marks a significant milestone as it is the first exhibit curated by museum staff and board members. The exhibit will run until spring 2027.
