Art and culture in Chinatown inspire me to stay grounded. Serving the community to me is the art of continuing the history and culture of this unique neighborhood. —Sunflower
It allows me to see Chinatown as a part of a shared experience. The poetry, music, images, and stories are sources of empathy and connection. These shared experiences speak to our deepest values and strengthen my community identity—our civic energy is unlocked… I can become the author of my own history/neighborhood. —Carlos Zialcita
