Sensing Alienation, explores how traditional buildings in Chinatown have been torn down and modern condos are taking over. During this multi-phased project, Qirou and Sahar will offer disposable cameras to Chinatown residents to document their thoughts in photographs. They will then conduct video interviews with Chinatown everyday workers that reveal their thoughts on the gentrification phenomenon in Chinatown. The stories and memorabilia collected will be showcased in a video displayed on loop at the Toronto Reference Library, followed by a closing event with an artist talk on October 13th.

Exhibition dates: October 2nd - October 13th

Closing event date: October 13th, 2022 at 6:30pm
