Resist, Recycle, Regenerate (RRR) 2018–2019

The 2nd year of RRR introduced our returning leadership model, where former fellows return to help design and facilitate the program for a new cohort. Fellows taught 5 community papermaking workshops in Chinatown throughout the year.

‘Mother’ By Serena Yang

“妈” explores migration, womanhood, and storytelling through an altered book format. The book is built upon the personal stories of my 妈, as understood and translated by me. It doesn’t seek to be biographical or exact. Rather, this project is a mapping of my mother’s stories and their importance to me as a daughter of diaspora and a young adult coming of age.”

“In the Eyes of a Daughter” by Angela Chan

“In the Eyes of a Daughter centers memories of Chinatown through the perspective of both myself and my mother. Intertwining aspects of family history and our mother-daughter relationship, the book of memories shares my mother’s experiences working in Chinatown and my own reflections on what Chinatown has taught me. Despite the generation gap and difference in experiences, me and my mom still feel similarly connected to Chinatown.”
