Becoming Chinatown: Talks and Performances on Possible Futures.
Hosted at the University of Colorado Denver with support from History Colorado and Colorado Asian Pacific United.
Session Three: (Re)imagining Chinatown
April 10, 2025
This panel brings together three designer-educators to reimagine Chinatowns through design and storytelling endeavors. It aims to foreground design tools as active agencies contributing to the reimagination of social and spatial contexts of Chinatowns. It asks: how can we reconstruct a spatial narrative that encapsulates the silenced stories of the displaced communities? How can we cultivate a shared repository of design knowledge and expertise to repair cultural identity and reshape the collective milieu for these communities?

This event is part of a series of events hosted by the University of Colorado Denver College of Architecture and Planning.
