Join Nathan in conversation with Cat Hung and Jenny Lu as they reflect on their roles in the co-curated Backyard Garden Project—a collaborative exhibit between the Museum of Vancouver, ACAM, and ACRE. This episode traces the exhibit’s evolution, from its initial ideas and goals to the post-pandemic workshops and community gatherings that emerged from its development.

Together, they explore themes of food security and sovereignty, and examine the cultural significance of food in Chinese communities—how it connects to memory, place, intergenerational knowledge, and identity. Through personal stories and collaborative insight, the episode offers a thoughtful look at how community-based projects can nurture both cultural resilience and collective healing.
