Abstract
The article offers information on Morris Lum's photography project Tong Yan Gaai, which captures the interiors and exteriors of Chinatowns in North America as central subjects rather than just eroticized backgrounds. Lum's project spans more than a decade and relies on his network of Chinatown community members to access the spaces he photographs, creating a visual memory network for viewers to explore. The article also discusses how Chinatowns functioned as safe and secret spaces.
