East Chinatown | 504 pcs

Take a stroll down the vibey streets of Chinatown on a warm summer’s day

Whether we chose to visit or were dragged there by our parents, Chinatowns around the world hit that nostalgia button for so many of us. Presenting “East Chinatown,” a time capsule of the mom-and-pop businesses, sights, and vibes of Toronto’s Old Chinatown, a local hidden gem. With nods to hip-hop and graffiti culture, artist Caerina Abrenica wanted to create a snapshot that captures and highlights the shops and people in this wonderfully underrated part of town. As gentrification continues to creep into neighbourhoods such as these, it was important to celebrate the community through art.
