Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花

Bay Windows / Ventanas en saliente / 窗花 is an 11-month social practice project centering working-class immigrant women. The bilingual project team facilitated 6 trilingual workshops for 15 Chinese and Latinx women to create papercuts on social and political issues which impact them. This fall, Christine Wong Yap is adapting the papercuts into wood and steel lanterns, to be displayed in storefronts in San Francisco’s Mission District and Chinatown this winter. She’ll re-engage the cohort to co-host an interactive treasure hunt to activate the lantern sites with dialogue, puzzles, and prizes
