Chinatown Through A Wide Lens: The Hidden Photographs of Yucho Chow showcases the long-hidden photographs of Vancouver's first and most prolific Chinese photographer. Chow photographed during a tumultuous and transformative time in Canadian history, operating a commercial studio in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown from 1907-1949. Although he was Chinese, Chow also chronicled the lives of other early, marginalized communities such as Sikh Canadians, Black Canadians, Indigenous residents and newly-arrived European immigrants. Chow’s negatives were discarded when the business closed.
