Join us for a look at a part of B.C. history that has seldom been seen. From 1906-1949, Yucho Chow chronicled life during a tumultuous and transformative period. His lens recorded the lives and aspirations not only of early Chinese, but of many other marginalized communities who struggled to make Canada their home: South Asians; the Black community; Indigenous families; mixed-race couples; and newly-arrived Eastern European immigrants. Today, these aging, private photographs are evidence of an incredibly rich, yet mostly hidden, piece of our province’s history.
