Lemon chicken association

The New Gallery and I <3 YYC Chinatown are thrilled to present a collaborative publication by the Lemon Chicken Association. This publication is the result of a project that brought together six multigenerational Calgary-based writers (Ben HF Tsui, Calvin D. Jim, Helen Hu, Steph Wong Ken, Teresa Tam, and Yi Yang) to build a community of practice over several months in 2019. This group of writers experienced various aspects of Calgary Chinatown, meeting community members, sharing meals and stories, and reflecting on their own relationships to this community. Their time together resulted in each writer developing one new work in response to their experiences. The publication features each text in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, and was designed in-house!
