CALL FOR PHOTOS & STORIES

The Museum of Chinese in the Americas is collecting images and stories for our new core exhibition honoring the adventurous and creative spirit of Chinese in America. The exhibit will open in January 2008 in our new facilities designed by architect Maya Lin, and we want YOU and many others who share Chinese ancestry to be a part of it!

IS THERE A PHOTO that captures your strongest memory of you and/or your family arriving in the United States?

IS THERE A STORY/ MEMORY that speaks of that moment, when you knew and felt for the first time, that America was your new home?

Was it the sweet taste of your first hot dog? The feeling of snowflakes touching your skin for the first time? Perhaps it was the sight of a new city skyline? Or maybe your father’s description of drinking powdered milk as the way he experienced America for the first time?

AND IF YOU¹VE spent YOUR ENTIRE LIFE in the United States, what photos, objects, and stories have been passed down over the years to become symbolic of your family¹s immigration to America?

We look forward to hearing from you!
