This series of photographic portraits by Zabrina Deng celebrates the unsung, unseen women who make Chinatown what it is: a thriving community where immigrants come to set their roots and where second- and third-generation Chinese come to be reminded of their roots.
Each woman profiled has a story of challenges and triumphs, and we celebrate their professional and personal success through portraiture, bringing out their beauty away from the mundane. Come see the images of a small business owner, wife, pianist, merchant, baker, waitress, poet, fashion designer, grandma, opera singer, dancer, musician and retiree. Women from different walks of life but with common bonds of deep roots in the Chinatown community.
Join us for a special reception by the artist on Saturday, July 9, 11:00 a.m. at the North Beach Library, highlighting her work, stories and the people in this exhibit.
