View “Life Wide Angle/Close Up,” a multimedia photography-based exhibit that sparks conversation about what goes into making healthy and sustainable communities, what they contribute to the larger society, and strategies and policies that can protect and support them. Borne of the necessities of survival and the restrictions of racism, ethnic enclaves arose to form vibrant communities where newcomers could bring a taste of home. Chinatowns, Nihonmachis, Little Manilas, and others formed in the early 20th centuries, migrating to neighborhoods where early immigrants had established themselves and thriving in communities where neglect meant housing was affordable. Curated by photographer Carina A. del Rosario, the display features pieces by Dean Wong, Mel Ponder, Andrew Hida, and the Chinatown Art Brigade collective.
