Public Art Discussion with Karen Tam & Henry Heng Lu

Karen Tam will discuss her public art project, Agnes Street Park, currently underway in New Westminster, British Columbia.

The new park is located at 824 Agnes Street, the former site of the Chinese Benevolent Association (CBA) and in a neighbourhood known as the second Chinatown in New Westminster. The Agnes Street Park will celebrate and pay tribute to the municipality’s early Chinese Canadian community as part of an ongoing Chinese reconciliation process.

This talk is supported by Calgary Arts Development.
