Author: Lum, Morris
Over the past decade, Chinese Canadian photographer Morris Lum has embarked on an extensive exploration of the Chinatown communities scattered across Canada and the United States. Focusing on the architecture and evolution of these enclaves, Lum delves into how 'Chinese' identity is shaped and expressed through their structures. Through his objective lens, Lum chronicles the rapid transformations these communities face, documenting the shifting architectural and economic landscapes.Using a large-format camera, he has captured Chinatowns in cities such as Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and Boston. His colourful photographs offer a poignant visual record, spotlighting both historical and modern-day cultural landmarks – small family-owned businesses, iconic Chinese restaurants and vital community organisations – that define these neighbourhoods.
