Grace Law, photo in front of the Harbin Gate, 1988

Local artist Grace Law remembers visiting the Harbin Gate as a child in the late 1980s. Whenever her family would visit, from either Hong Kong or Calgary, they would get into the car and drive to Chinatown to take photographs of the Gate. Grace reflects on the Harbin Gate as a public space that is both personally and culturally significant.

Interview and editing by Brandi Kueber. This documentary was produced as part of a Community Service Learning project at the University of Alberta. It is part of a multimedia project capturing the history of Edmonton's Chinatown, called Figure 一,二,三,六,八.
