“聚 Gathering” is a mural painting that celebrates diversity and the thriving intergenerational community. It was completed in 2019 by Dawn Lo. It depicts a huge communal table in the center where people of different ethnicities and ages are joined together; they are engaged in activities that can be easily found happening in Chinatown, from eating Asian pastries to language learning.
"The site of this mural plays an important role of representing Chinese cultural heritage in Vancouver. Chinese Cultural Center (CCC) has been providing facilities and initiatives for language classes, exhibitions, and cultural performances etc since the 1920s.
It is important to emphasize that Chinatown is not only for Chinese or tourists but a space that welcomes everyone to celebrate the beauty of diversity. When one generation passes their secret recipes or tell their life stories to the next generation, it is like passing down little pieces of cultural heritage. I hope the mural introduces a slice of Chinatown’s multicultural and intergenerational community in a fun and optimistic way."
