FLUX Hawaii’s photo project documenting the diversity that is Chinatown.

You are not the typical go-to-Chinatown-because-it’s-First-Friday-er. You are there Tuesday mornings for Chai. Wednesday nights for Broadcast. Saturdays to shake and pop. You work there. You live there. Chinatown is your heartbeat, and YOU are its pulse.
In an effort to document Chinatown’s unique diversity, FLUX will be conducting a year-long photo project, and we want to start with YOU.

About FLUX’s Faces and Places Project
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Historically, Chinatowns were a place of cultural insularity. A starting point for people unfamiliar with their host city’s language and customs to find solidarity with others just like them. Today, our Chinatown is increasingly diverse. Bar and restaurant owners, artisans, hipsters, homeless, prostitutes, jade shops, dim sum restaurants, all coexist to create a burgeoning industry of commerce and creative.
In an effort to capture this diverse cultural makeup, FLUX will embark on a year-long photo project documenting the FACES and PLACES of Chinatown, culminating in a gallery exhibition and lecture on the history of Asian societies and the value of Chinatowns.
