Chinatown Photographers In Conversation— Rites of Passage

The event will feature a conversation between Chinatown photographers Cindy Trinh, Ed Cheng, Cal Hsiao, and Sonia Tsang, moderated by Alison Kuo. The discussion will focus on mentorship, the legacy of the late street photographer and community figure, Corky Lee—whose work is on view at ICP in We Are Here: Scenes from the Streets—and what motivates their work today.

Rites of passage are ceremonies that mark important life transitions, such as birth, puberty, marriage, and death. They are often characterized by three phases: separation, transition, and incorporation. 

This fall, the International Center of Photography will be presenting the exhibit titled, “We Are Here: Scenes from the Streets”. It will be on view from September 27 up to January 6 of next year.
