Inspired by Toronto’s urban history, his paintings draw from archival research to reflect stories of immigration, neighbourhood change, and the everyday lives of working people.Raised in Toronto, Eric has a deep connection to the Kensington-Chinatown area, where his grandparents settled after immigrating from China in the 1950s. Through family history and personal research, his paintings examine the evolving history of the neighbourhood, translating its complex social and cultural landscape into thoughtful visual narratives.The Artist Talk explores the architectural relationship between Toisanese villages in Guangdong, China, and the development of North American Chinatowns. Focusing on buildings constructed by both returning migrants from North America and Chinese immigrants to North America, I examine how migration shaped a shared visual language across continents — blending Southern Chinese vernacular architecture with Western influences brought back through diaspora communities, and vice versa. Through historical research and visual analysis, the talk considers how architecture reflects memory, identity, and the movement of people between Toisan and cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, and San Francisco. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/culture-day-art-of-paper-cutting-the-architecture-of-chinatown-history/100001997392284090 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Workshops, fine-arts, Exhibitions - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 16+ - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 183 Queen St E - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: 183 Queen St E - **lat**: 43.6539331 - **long**: -79.37146919999999 - **full address**: 183 Queen St E, 183 Queen Street East, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: CULTURE DAY - Art of Paper Cutting + The Architecture of Chinatown History - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/bbd63473b6fe91acb57ccae4596b4a72a88111a98de85f401c116ff6ab5b4656-rimg-w1200-h1931-dca87868-gmir.jpg?v=1786466143 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is CULTURE DAY - Art of Paper Cutting + The Architecture of Chinatown History being held? - **A:** CULTURE DAY - Art of Paper Cutting + The Architecture of Chinatown History takes place on Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 03:00 pm at 183 Queen St E, 183 Queen Street East, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for CULTURE DAY - Art of Paper Cutting + The Architecture of Chinatown History? - **A:** CULTURE DAY - Art of Paper Cutting + The Architecture of Chinatown History is strictly for guests aged 16 and above.
