Despite their distance and being on two different continents, the two cities are inextricably interlinked through history, culture, and migration &#8211; in both directions.

With painful histories and rebellious resilience evident in both spaces, how do we go about protecting these spaces that have fostered and contributed to the growth of their respective cities?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"590px\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen onload=\"var tF=this;setInterval(function(){var fh=tF.scrollWidth*0.636;if(fh&gt;400)fh=400;tF.style.height=fh+'px';},500);\" style=\"border:none;margin:0px;padding:0px;overflow:hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/app.clas.ubc.ca\/guest\/clas\/index.php?anon=true&#038;nevid=zzNMphcS5mRiwBoWL1XkXZu8qyVnhoWz8QwmoQC68SQOXgxHZuQ0v2acXZ8rxvR0jVvkxxONLhSnPLrj%2FS0ms4%2Bi1Yulem5SDReeqRoZWYIbZdcZmAmrOHC%2FYPHvkvWJk9RvWGLqXLyivA2aYpmiPYV0d2qvjGZILl9oFH2u5MhgoewYNTERRFtz5AnTMj8aEsiCBYjAj%2FoLFxxEDJv%2BbSyKOPCLcFZVjxElYkYf0%2F0%3D&#038;co=false&#038;minimal=true&#038;discbtn=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is important to support [cultural] neighbourhoods and business to keep them alive Photographers and Storytellers: Tamara Chang \u9673\u79c0\u660e Steffi Lau \u5289\u6674\u6615 In a stroke of creative and artistic brilliance, Chang and Lau use their cameras as witnesses to the changing faces of two geographically disparate but culturally linked places &#8211; Hong Kong and Vancouver. &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/2021\/tamarasteffi\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Parallel loss of culture&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59280,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,1,48],"tags":[54,19,25],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2021visart","category-acam330","category-visart","tag-culture","tag-diasporic-guilt","tag-identity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59280"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":646,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions\/646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/bycacamshowcase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
