CHSA is excited to support Edge on the Square's Under the Same Sun: Reimagining the Edges of Chinatown, its second annual contemporary art festival celebrating the enduring radiance of San Francisco Chinatown. The festival takes place on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 at various locations across Chinatown.

As constant as the sun are the residents, community members and organizations who continue to rise, persist and shine in the face of adversity. Uniting over 20 AAPI artists and their multimedia artworks, installations, activations and performances, UNDER THE SUN reflects on contemporary issues, questions and concerns relating to individual and collective freedoms, identities and civil liberties. Along with cultural partners, arts organizations and community residents, the coalition of voices amplify unity and solidarity within multi and cross-cultural experiences and histories. Under the same sun from the center to the "edges" of Chinatown and beyond, we glisten with the resilience of the past, tenacity of now and earned optimism for a future powered by collective action, persistent courage and wise hope.

This Labor Day weekend, we recognize the decades of contributions by Chinese and Chinese American laborers and their pursuit of the American Dream while shaping today's United States—from railroad workers to winery and vintner workers to restaurant workers and beyond.

📸: The 2nd edition of VOICES FROM THE RAILROAD: STORIES BY DESCENDANTS OF CHINESE RAILROAD WORKERS, edited by Sue Lee and Connie Young Yu. This book reveals the hitherto untold stories of the unsung and forgotten Chinese workers who built the mammoth project through documented oral history interviews of descendants, giving the Chinese community’s laboring ancestors the recognition, credit and humanity they deserve. Includes a section dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental held at Promontory Summit, Utah.

On sale at our CHSA gift shop.

For more educational resources, information and exhibitions telling the greater Chinese American experience as American laborers, visit CHSA.org.
