For this interview Léa Tremblay Fong speaks on a recent project that she coordinated in collaboration with multiple arts partners, including Festival Accès Asie, called Sit, Eat and Chew 五味杂陈
This piece explores the ways that local organizers are working in collaboration with artists to create creative openings within the large questions and struggles with gentrification coming forcefully to Chinatown in Montreal but also being repeated in many Chinatown communities around North America. Also generally Léa speaks about community engaged dance projects and her experience specifically developing this work.
