Description
Join Revolutionary Spaces for a documentary screening of A Tale of Three Chinatowns and explore how preservation is tied to the voice of the people. The conundrums the founding generation faced are still challenging us today in real, tangible ways: “How is my voice heard? What happens if I am silenced or marginalized?” Revolutionary Spaces asks: how are these challenges activated through the lens of community preservation?
Old South Meeting House has long been a space for the community to come together and solve problems facing Boston; Revolutionary Spaces is thrilled to continue the tradition, pairing this screening with a talkback panel featuring filmmakers Penny Lee and Lisa Mao, UMass Boston Professor Andrew Leong, and expert Beyazmin Jiminez as we tackle these questions and more. Opening remarks will be given by writer, teacher, activist, and artist Cynthia Yee.
As participants sit together in an incredible 18th century meeting house, they will reflect – together – on the notion that there’s more worth preserving than just brick and mortar.
The program will include a casual reception, celebrating the film and the Chinatown community.
