Clarissa Kunizaki's project explores the histories, migrations, and family stories of the Chinese Latinx diaspora of New York City. What histories brought this community to NYC? Clarissa follows her own family's migration history, shares oral histories and testimonios, and uplifts Chinese Latinx restaurants and cultural centers in New York City. In this exhibit, educators and students gain access to lesson plans, resources, and guiding questions to learn more about this important NYC community.
