The Nanaimo Art Gallery presents: "Upstairs at Wah Lee's" a Quesnel Museum Travelling Exhibition.
Chow Shong Wing was born in Quesnel into the merchant family that ran the Wah Lee Store. As a young man he established a photographic studio on the upper floor and was the first professional photographer in Quesnel. His portraits of local residents –Chinese, First Nation and Caucasian, speak profoundly of the economic, religious and social forces of acculturation at work in this young frontier town, but also reflect a casual intimacy that existed between individuals of diverse cultural background.
Opening Reception at 900 Fifth Street: November 20th, 5:00-7:00pm
