Tisch College Sponsors Innovative Chinatown Exhibition
The window displays will be on view at the Chinese Trade Center (2 Boylston Street) and the Tufts University Health Sciences Bookstore (116 Harrison Street).
These Words is a bilingual, multi-venue exhibition that displays the history of written and printed material in Chinatown through reproduced archival documents and photographs, along with site-specific projection events. This project takes an innovative approach, using digital replications of historic documents as the objects of a public exhibition. It includes large-scale window displays and image projections on several buildings in downtown Boston.
The project was organized by Diane O’Donoghue, Senior Fellow for the Humanities at Tisch College, and is funded by the Tisch College Community Research Center in partnership with the Chinese Historical Society of New England. The exhibition represents the latest in a long line of partnerships between Tisch College and Chinatown, where students, faculty, and community members have for years come together to enhance learning and improve community life.
