These podcasts function as mapping based in oral storytelling, a way to share some the conversations and research that are the foundation to all of the Mapping East Van projects

​

For greater access, transcripts and image descriptions will be added to all the podcasts in the series soon. This is what has been done so far: 

​

Episode 5

CHINATOWN W/ DAVID NG

​

timestamped transcript TBA!

​

[cover ID: digitally hand-written yellow orchre text says “mapping east van W/ david ng” in all caps. This title overlaps a cloudy and bright day of the 林西河總堂 (Lim Sai Kor How Mok) Benevolent Association building in Chinatown. Like most buildings in the un-gentrified parts of East Van it is a short older building flanked by bland-colored skyscrapers and dripped with wear. Urban fixtures are also seen near the building: A red classic light pole, some bushes, a young-ish skinny tree, a crosswalk light plastered with posters. End of ID]
