Student Feedback• I found the trip touching and exciting on an emotional level because, like
the film, I felt the fading culture in Chinatown. Because my parents were immigrants and I used to come to Chinatown every Saturday for Chinese school, I felt conflicted that the area was struggling with either staying as Chinatown is, undeveloped, or letting the development influence it. However, on the second day when I saw the art that hybridized traditional and contemporary art, I felt hopeful that there can be a balance between the two. This is relevant to me because I need to stay true to my values but also stay open to change.
• In the Gallery exhibition I was amazed how close I was to treasures from the past and authentic traditional clothing. I was also fascinated by the contemporary artists’ sense of creativity and effort to think out of the box in terms of tradition and change.
