An installation featuring oral history videos of Lim Association members set among frottage architectural rubbings of the association’s historic building in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Member-drawn calligraphy of the Lim surname (which loosely translates to “forest”, as pictography made up of 2 trees/wood symbols) was screen-printed onto the backside of each rubbing. Born from an intergenerational and cross cultural collaboration, the exhibit invited audiences to experience the living history of an important heritage site in the Chinatown neighbourhood.

The project was made in collaboration with the Lim Sai Hor Kow Mock Association and Love Intersections (David Ng and Jen Sungshine). It has been subsequently exhibited at Massy Arts in Vancouver BC and the Workers Arts and Heritage Museum in Hamilton ON.
