It鈥檚 hard to walk through D.C.鈥檚 Chinatown and not be blown away by some of its intricate art, unique buildings and cultural attractions that distinguish that pocket of our nation鈥檚 capital.
In today鈥檚 episode of Matt About Town, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, 海角精品黑料鈥檚 Matt Kaufax explores what鈥檚 being done to preserve that part of D.C.鈥檚 history at a new Smithsonian exhibit: “Sightlines: Chinatown and Beyond.”
Presented by the Asian Pacific American Center and housed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, “Sightlines” highlights the imprint of Asian Americans on the physical and cultural terrain of D.C.
Divided into three parts 鈥 Making Place, Transforming Tradition and Visualizing Identity 鈥 Sightlines focuses on taking many of the cultural markers you can find around Chinatown, and across D.C., and housing them in one place. Each piece of the exhibit highlights the contributions of Asian Americans to the very fabric of the city.
Matt’s journey through Sightlines unfolded in two parts: Exploring the exhibit itself, then heading out into Chinatown to see the real-life places that inspired the Smithsonian’s creation. Join him on his journey for a deep dive into understanding this impactful new exhibit, which runs through November.
