Sonic Histories: Living Room Listening with Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 with Rochelle Kwan!

Thursday, March 7th @ 6 - 7:30pm

Bringing together music and oral history, Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan (aka YiuYiu 瑶瑶) will gather us for an intimate living room listening through the Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 archive at the Clemente! Pulling from over 20 record collections inherited from her family and neighbors, we'll listen together to songs that have long filled Chinatown living rooms – and the histories and memories that come with them. Rooted in the belief that we can all be DJs and oral historians, Rochelle invites you to bring a favorite song of their own to share and soundtrack our living room with us.

Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan (aka YiuYiu 瑶瑶) is a cultural organizer, oral history educator, and DJ based on Lenape land in NYC's Manhattan Chinatown. This event is part of the 2023-24 Experiments in Oral History Methodology Series.
