A neighbourhood’s double existence: the outward facing and the inward facing. If I think about Toronto’s Chinatown beyond what’s seen at street level or surface level, I see the social lives, organization, the unapologetic, adaptation, resourcefulness, emotional cornerstones of a place. Behaviours that are much overlooked by the outsider and unedited for their judgements. I want to embrace the inward facing and protect it as an essential part of our lives as I’m trying to think of care for a place and belonging from the inside out.
